This arrived yesterday afternoon, and I've been giving it its shakedown cruise:

Held under a full force faucet: :good:

Worn during a hot shower: :good:

Taken directly from said shower into a cool autumn day: :good:

I've never been one for bling, and 'out of the box', this was just a bit too shiny and polished for my tastes, so I took my trusty Scotchbrite pad and 4-sided nail buffer to it... :whistling:  I went for subtle overall aging, with 'wear marks' on the edges and underside of the bracelet and clasp, and 'took the tops off' the bezel flutes.  The look I was going for, was a watch which has spent its 25 year existence on the wrist of a playboy who spent his days in Papa's boardroom, his weekends on the polo field with Rupert Campbell-Black, and his nights in the beds of the bored housewives of Rutshire. Have I achieved that? 

This was a 33rd birthday present to myself, could I actually be 'growing up'? :g:

I'll do a proper review with non-iPhone pics once I get my computer up and running again :)

TGIF, amigos :drinks:

Nice, B! Is that new?

Thank you!

This one was finished in September. I am super pleased with the results. The only thing left is to have the gen hand-set installed but I'm not in a huge rush. I have the 1665 parts hunt working real hard right now.
