Here are the first shots of my new baby....

And a few on the wrist........

One thing I never noticed before is that the 6.75 case is fractionally thicker than the Motors and the Le Mans. The wheel design case-back also adds a little more as well. I'm sure there will be calls for it to be on the bracelet, but I absolutely love this watch on the black croco. Gives it a class that I otherwise lack! :wink:

Good stuff - and looks good on the black croco. Maybe brown would add an alternative look.

Great looking face - nice and easy to read without being plain.

Driver,

So this is what you gave up your SA for...?

Well done, old chap!:D That is one watch that will never lose
its appeal, no matter how long you keep it -- which will probably
be forever.

A great choice.

Thanks Steve. :thumbsup: Yep this is what the white SA made way for! I'm very happy with the decision and it's a definite keeper. In fact I think all of my pieces now are keepers - at least I certainly hope so!

It's taken me a while to get to the keeper stage, but I can't imagine selling any of my (modestly sized) collection now.
