You did all the heavy lifting... finding the right sample, and funding it!
This timepiece is a premium and unique offering, I have no doubts the long hunt will prove well worth it for you. I can't recall ever being happier for another member's acquisition, you really deserve this one!
(More) Survivor Love
It only took me a decade! LOL I need something to pick me up after a terrible week. The ROO came through! Cheers, respo ...
Thanks, Nicolas
Now I have two Black chronographs, which I have been trying to get together for the past 10 years. I will try to post on the pair soon. Best, respo
Makes me miss mine!
I had one a few years back for a very short period of time. I had a 26400AU (the forged carbon 44mm offshore) at the same exact time and they were just too similar. I ended up trading it for a 15400OR and looking back I wish I had kept it! One of the cool...
Thank you!

Not a little Respo!
Completely! 180 degrees. Now I really like it. As your choice of the alligator strap. Really really love it! Thanks! René

Well, you have a beautiful beach and an incredible watch to enjoy your days. Thanks, respo
YIPPEE!! I love to see a dream come true!
Your devotion to this model is finally rewarded, God Bless you Respo! Now, enjoy this audacious Offshore, one of my very favorites!
Thank you, Michael!
I am grateful to you for all of your patience, information, encouragement and inspiration over the years. I cannot tell you how many times I have looked at your posts and photos of the Survivor -- they have kept the dream alive for me. All the best, respo...
