Fantastic collection, BTW....Any chance to get a group shot that's not upside down?

Here is an adjusted one. Its 'upside down' because the watches are resting perpendicular to the box

I have been wearing it today and am really enjoying it. I realised something that hasn't crossed my mind before. I was looking at the date multiple times and hour as usual but it felt odd and I just couldn't quite put my finger on whats odd about it...then I realised that unlike the rest of my watch the cyclops on the DD doesn't have AR coating (I don't think my YM has AR on the cyclops but it didn't seem as reflective as the DD). LOL damn reflection, now I know what people are on about when they criticise its hard to see the date with the cyclop

I don't seem to be as careful wearing this compared to my other watches. I would always make sure there is a lint free non abrasive cloth to rest my wrist on when I'm at the desk to preent scratches but I wasn't so religions about it today while wearing the DD. I reckon its because the DD isn't a scratch virgin anymore

The time keeping since hand winding it up last night has been good so far.

I don't think I will get a bigger box so soon as I am actually using the 'box is full' to curb my addiction

Very beautiful. Perfect size. Congrats.

Really?! That's...astonishing.

Suzy Cruisy · 4 May 2011, 04:54 PM

Nice box o'watches! Pretty soon hubby and I are going to have to get a cool one like that! (And I thought they were still cool upside down.)

And maybe eventually someone will answer your servicing question, but I wouldn't know. The pros are all blinded by your bling!

Looks great on your wrist,YG+white dial ,a class of its own!

travisb · 4 May 2011, 06:30 PM

Congratulations on the DD! Great collection you have too!

watchf · 4 May 2011, 10:23 PM

I just put it back on, its 10.30pm at night now LOL. I put it on so I can browse TRF in style

Fellas can I ask what is the stock finish on the president bracelet on the 18038? I can only manage to find detailed pics that showed brushed outer links on both sides with PCL. Is this how its suppose to be? I guess I can't really tell from mine due to its age but on closer inspection I think I can see brushed grain lines on the outer links and non on the center but can't really tell for such.

Its keeping time well exact to the second which is making it hard for me to justify a service or not.

You often hear about unsatisfiable greed, I wonder if thinking about owning a DD with a full solid non hollowed President bracelet in the future puts me in that category

I like how the design of the bracelet makes it bling and glitters under the sun even though the surface is not free of scratch anymore...good bling good bling :D

egzbuen · 4 May 2011, 11:22 PM

Congrats, my 18038 says hi...

Brian J · 5 May 2011, 02:47 AM

Love the collection and the new watch. I'm looking for that exact DD.

z32turbo · 5 May 2011, 02:10 PM

Very nice collection!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another satisfaction is that the President took the last seat and I have a full house! Yes my watch box is FULL

What a feeling seeing it all filled up

Wow! It's a beauty!! Can't wait to get my hands on one! So much poise in a watch! Suits you well..36mm is on the smaller size but with the bracelet and weight, it makes it classy...

You just spent a small fortune on a beautiful watch, and you don't know the service records on it. I would send it in in a heart beat to have it checked out.
This is a keeper for sure, get her all fixed up.

Ricco · 6 May 2011, 10:15 PM

Mamma mia! Congrats!

le_baroudeur · 6 May 2011, 10:26 PM

I would send it to RSC, in order to get all the parts oiled properly... Congratulations!

smartson · 7 May 2011, 12:34 AM

Stunning! I think the brilliant gold, plus the thickness of DD makes it looks larger than life.
