Hello My Good Friends

As promised, here are a few quick shots of my new Navi World, picked up on my birthday from my AD in Lancaster, UK. He's a very nice man......gave me a 20% discount and a cup of delightful tea, served in a white, bone china cup on a black onyx tray. And, oh yes, he threw in a Cartier watch polishing kit and the new Chronolog '09 :D

The shots are taken with the watch 'straight off my wrist', so dust etc can be spotted by you eagle eyed ones out there. I promise I'll do a proper shoot for you soon but thought you'd like to see a white faced World with a tan croc deployment for your Sunday delight and delectation......hava good weekend chaps.

Colonel, an absolutely gorgeous watch, Old Bean. I truly envy you.
The croco strap gives it an extra dimension of class. It's the kind of
watch one would wear to say, oh, a Presidential Innauguration... :) Or
Presidential Ball. :D Even if one can't make it to such events, it's the
perfect timepiece, what with its 24 hour feature, to watch them on the telly.
I hope you do. I'll be watching the festivities with my Steelfish on.
Enjoy your wonderful watch.

Steve

Beautiful with the white dial! The tan croco really looks great with it, too. I am especially impressed with the dial detail, and where the calendar numbers are in blue to match those on the dial!
A very classy and classic looking piece!
Happy Birthday!
Cheers,
Carl
