Thanks Fred and Tom. It looks good now but I really can't wait to get the new strap from Jeanna. Rich reddish brown leather, linen stitching with wrapped lugs - should really complement the watch.

Thanks Sergio. Something you wrote actually influenced my decision -- you've never been happy when you compromised on a watch purchase.

I tried on the new Spitfire. Amazingly beautiful in the metal. The IWC boutique got the first one in Europe. But I had my heart set on the Zenith and the substantial price difference sealed the decision.

Great to hear that you got the watch that really spoke to you. Now before I get angry LET'S SEE SOME PICS!!!!!

I really really like the look of this watch and I'm jones'n to see some real life photos of it. You may be the first in the world to own it.

My wife planned a special weekend for my 50th so we're in Interlaken until tomorrow. But many photos to come on Monday...
