What can I say.... 2012 has been a slow year for me, horologically speaking or, at the very least, in terms of adding a member to the family. This was the case until a few weeks back when I caught a virus. A strong one. This virus, as we all know, is incurable. At least for me it isn't.....for now. :D

Anyway, fast forward, it was a toss between three (3) very different pieces. At the end of the day, I found myself choosing which made/gave a bigger smile on my face ;) Actually, all three (3) did but I just had to decide which other two (2) would have to wait .... for now :D

Here is the unboxing:

One more box inside:

Still in a plastic bubble wrap courier bag:

Here's what was inside the courier bubble wrap:

Don't ask me but I also couldn't believe that the box fitted inside the medium box and then placed inside the bigger box. :o

Lets open the white cover:

Let us look at what's really inside:

Some close-ups:

Finally, the customary wrist shot:

Thanks for looking ;)
