Hopefully arrival within the hour.

It isn't vintage but it is a 5 number model!

Thanks guys for playing along and for the comments.

I have long admired the clasic simplicity of this combo - stick dial (white or black), smooth bezel, brushed lugs and an oyster bracelet.

I am amazed at how light and comfy this is.

How long should I leave the stickers on

Here are a few more pics....
