Incoming (x2) - Part 2 with Pics
Wow, what a weekend. Saturday 31st March now ranks as the best watch buying experience, since this passion got fired up 12-years ago.
There'd been far to much pleasure spoiling by the likes of Fed-Ex and DHL previously, but this time I grabbed my passport and took to the air. So, most of Saturday was viewed like this:  Roughly equating to: - 1600 miles - 5hrs of flying - 6hrs of layover - 4 flights - 3 airports - 2 taxis - 3 litres of water - 6 cappuccinos - 3 sandwiches - 1 new Samsonite bag - Not much sleep ....oh and 2 new watches

Sunday Pics
Out came the camera yesterday, for some quick and dirty shots...
Not very hand-luggage friendly and I didn't really fancy checking my bag   How bis is that SE box  372 may be smaller, but it was bursting to get out of its box

Don't forget the other fella!
372 is proving a little hard to capture nicely, but I'll work on it
  Last one of them both just hanging out  So far the Bronzo has dominated, but then I wanted a Submersible ever since I was offered a 285 back in 2008. It is a truly magical piece that has brought back the smile to my face every time I glance at it. Most of us know that great feeling No doubt more pics to follow
