Finally... 116500
Elated to get the call - 116500, ready to collect...

The most difficult watch I have ever acquired.   Infact The 116500 jointly with the 15202 and 5711, were highly leveraged with effort and tenacity, most consumers wouldn't ever have to experience.

But finally... It's in store.  I couldn't be happier... Pics to follow... Frustratingly I'm working next few days, so collection will be after weekend

Needless to say, stock is still arriving in the UK, albeit slowly (waited practically all year)

Congrats mate

I had a call on a 15202 last week but declined as I have something else in mind, but can imagine your three will make a great trio

In the U.K.?!?!? Well that is a xmas story come early. Happy for you Busyboy! The fact that it's that much rarer here will make it an even more enjoyable first time on the wrist. Congrats mate!

Huge congratulations. A UK Daytona is a serious result.

We patiently await pictures.

Good for you. I'm still not even close to getting one, albeit on 4 AD lists.
