Big congrats, John. I love the black dial on your DD - very elegant!!!

My grail is the Bark DD - but will take my time acquiring it. I am patient!

Again, a great pickup. Wear in the best of health!

Very stylish DD, looking almost as new!

I like the black dial, giving some contrast to the YG! Personally, I have always found gold and black to be a great combo.

What series is it, please? Looks like a DD 18238 with those endlinks and non polished lugs.

I agree if your going GOLD!!!!!!!!!!Gotta be Black
