new 116613 bought this morning

After some strong advice to a request for advice on sunday...scam sites, etc. Thanks for the advice, it was taken and used.

From an AD in the midlands in the UK. Dealer retail price discounted by an amazing 18.3%. Plus I got a case for my wife's Mont Blanc blue Starwalker thrown in.

Happy to pm contact details for other UK buyers in the market. The staff were exceptional and it is a classy retailer.

Very beatiful watch, not the best iPhone pics:

Thanks. Adds to my fledgling collection which is this new beauty and a 2003 Tag Steve McQueen on steel bracelet.

I have no idea why, but watches have always fascinated me and I have wanted a bimetal since the first time I saw it; what, 25 years ago? No idea, I just love it.

Great forum and again, helped me find my way to an AD.

Love the Blue & Gold. Ditto, Tom's comments (I cleaned my glasses on the first look). Though my pics are frequently one handed with my Iphone, and not very good.

Beautiful!

I've been to an AD the past 2 days trying that model on but have only been able to squeeze a 14% discount from him on a "Z" model. What serial number is yours? Such a great looking watch... enjoy!
