Incoming.... for my dads birthday
For my father's 70th birthday this year, decided to get him a really nice gift. Reached out to Brian with Boxer Time (Briboxer) and everything went great. Received it the next day.
BNIB dd40 yellow gold with black diagonal motif. It's a beautiful watch which I am sure my father will be able to wear both for dressy occasions and for daily use. The black dial I think gives it a "sporty" look rather than the classy champagne dial.

Thanks again to Brian.

Before anybody say I need to take all the stickers and wrapping off, I'm gonna leave it on for my father to take off.
