Came home this evening to an extremely well packed box containing a rather special watch
My Le Mans is now happily getting used to running again and we'll see what kind of accuracy it can give me without any adjustments. A service may be in it's near future - there's a scratch on the bezel, but the warranty car is only dated June 2005 (first sold in Spain) - much later than I expected, so the service may not be needed yet - we'll see.
The colour is much closer to the Legende than I expected, but definitely different. I'll take some photos on the weekend and try and show the difference, but with my photography skills there are no guarantees.
I did discover that one of my long held beliefs is wrong - I was always under the impression that the bronze dials were numbers 1 - 250, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that they aren't - because mine is #562.
I was very impressed with the way that Blowers packed the watch, and while UK sellers aren't always the most attractive for those of us in North America, they have been a pleaseure to deal with.
Best of all, there wasn't a big bill waiting for me, so looks like Customs didn't smack me upside the head for another 18% - the first time that has ever happened.
Not a bad day for a Monday!
And yes guys, I know that you want pictures, but when I spend almost 6 hours a day commuting they are going to have to wait until the weekend.
