Waiting for your watch . . . . . .
Discussion
Siting here post-acquisition of the business I work for having done extremely well on the shares, my choice of watch purchased expanded . . . I'd had a share save tucked away for 3yrs with the intention of a nice watch solely and seperate from the others I held . .
Lot's of research, stalking in the background here, finally I have chosen which watch I want . .
4-6 weeks was the initial projection .. . now it seems it may be Sep/Oct before the watch get's here. That's after waiting 3yrs to make the purchase . .
I have confirmed my order today however, although I nearly bought something else at the airport this morning but knew it wasn't what I really wanted and I was just trying to satisfy my inability to wait . . .
But I've decided that I will wait, but it's killing me already. The money has gone to the savings account and here I sit, waiting to start my 'decent' watch collection and I've gotta go through the summer waiting . . .
I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end . . . What have you ordered ? I here you ask . . well . . that would be telling wouldn't it . . . It's available to view on the wrist check thread.
Perhaps the guessing will help me get through the next few days, weeks, months
I could probably get it abroad but I don't want to, prefer to trade with someone recommended and trusted . . .

Not a Panerai . . .
Can you believe today as well that at a meeting I'm in there's a guy wearing the non chronograph version of my watch on a strap rather than a bracelet. Thought it was at the last meeting, but didn't have time to stop, had most of the day today to stare at his watch . . .
Had a great chat with him, loads in his collection and loves this one so much is struggling to top it for it's simplicity and style.
Confirmed that I had made the right choices . . . it looked fantastically understated.

Just to torment you (and getting my own back for you going to the rugby at the weekend while I had to listen to it on the radio)
There is a guy who comes to the office I'm working in currently who has the non chrono version of the watch you've ordered.
Bloody lovely and serious quality.

Got a colleague with one as well which is tough when you're waiting for your own one to turn up. Then a mate tells me he just picked up an Aquatimer Chrono in Singapore as well to wave under my nose this weekend !
Rugby ws excellent, lunch before the game very good and the free beer all day in a box right behind the North Stand uprights was a great view as well !

Got myself a 3717-01 April having placed the order at a jewellers in Kent. Took 3 months for the watch to make into the store. Saved a bit as my father had bought the non-chrono Pilot's watch from them earlier.
Got it from these guys:
