IT'S HERE!!!

I know the Postmaster from a civic group and he knew how bummed I was when it didn't show up yesterday. Gave me a call at 6:30 AM and said that it was there and that he would let me in the back if I wanted to come and pick it up. I've been wearing it all morning and just snapped a quick picture of it with the rest of the herd. Logo is shown with my TAG Link Chrono, Omega Seamaster, the Sub, and my daily beater that I purchased new in 1993 and has been going strong ever since-a Victronox Swiss Army.

Shoot...

Trying to post the pics and it is asking for a URL. I'm not savvy in the ways of posting pics-anyone out there able to walk me through it, or can I email someone my pic?

Man, this thing is SWEET!!

The only problem is I thought it would pacify me until the 221 arrived, and all it has done is make me want it more!!

Glad you got it. You know I can always buzz over to that dealer for you. They know we well. OTOH maybe that would hurt your relationship with them...

They have some IWC"s that I like but the watchmaker doesn't have them high on his list. He's partial to the Rolexes and Langes. Not much of a Patek guy either. Says the finishing is great but they don't run well. I wasn't gonna buy one right away anyhow.

Glad to hear it Dave, enjoy it with Pride and PASSION!!

Congrats Dave... enjoy the passion, as Daren said. It's really quite something to wear one. A month into my ownership and I still have a (more) goofy grin on my ugly mug.

But look at this thing... how could you not love it?

Roverdave · 17 June 2006, 07:43 AM

See if this works-it is a crummy picture-our good camera is with the wife at work...

Roverdave · 17 June 2006, 07:45 AM

Cripes! The image is HUGE! How do I resize?

Jeez, it looks like I just dug them all out of the trash-I should have taken the time to polish them up-that is what you get for being in a hurry...

She's a beauty.

You do the same thing as me, forget to wipe the finger prints off before snapping a picture

How did you control yourself and actually take it off long enough for a picture?

Roverdave · 17 June 2006, 07:50 AM

It was tough taking it off, but I couldn't fit all of the rest of them on my wrist at the same time-I don't know how those guys selling gen-u-ine Rolex's on the street corner do that...

It's back on to stay for awhile now-at least until the 221 shows!

hutchman · 17 June 2006, 10:10 AM

Awesome Dave!

Which one is after the 221? Power reserve, Radiomir, GMT?

Enjoy it!

Roverdave · 17 June 2006, 12:25 PM

It'll have to be the Power Reserve-I like the style of it. It'll be a while though-the wife is still getting over the fact that I have spent close to $10,000.00 on two watches, and she hasn't even seen the Omega Seamaster automatic that I brought home tonight.

I hate a good deal...

dman · 17 June 2006, 02:14 PM

Looks awesome Dave!! The Pannies are lots of fun and addicting too.
