So you did keep it!

 

Excellent Tony.  I know sometimes the dealings and experiences with a brand can change our opinions about things.  I am glad you ended up getting this piece back.  I can easily see your passion for it, and I was afraid it would have haunted you to have let it go.


It looks so prisitine in these shots.  Keep us posted, and Congratulations!!

I've seen shock proofing in others. Generally, the VZSSc (center second) versions are more likely to feature it. Cheers, Tony C.

So you did keep it!

this is a different watch. The one that I has sent to AP was returned to the original seller, as I had no tolerance for the non-original hands! Cheers, Tony C.

What an awesome watch, a perfect fit for your chronometer passion.
