looks great on your wrist Kari! Great photo too! :) Cheers Robin

You can also say that you predicted the market's development

I mean, watch sales will pick up speed the coming days, weeks and months. So you were actually ahead of a market trend. A trend-setter. ...lol... Like the big date at 6 o'clock, is it?

I had the best of reasons!

I wanted to get it. I also had fun with the purchase: The AD sent it to me from Germany and we agreed that I will pay it when received the same. So, I promised to confirm when I have opened the parcel and then I sent the following: "I opened the package. ...  

One of the best looking chronographs of all time for my money

Unsure whether I prefer it with or without the date, but either way it's an amazing watch. Enjoy.

I love the Big Date.

At 6 o'clock it somehow does not break the harmony of the dial. I ordered two more folding clasps and today a light brown Barennia leather strap and on Monday I will pick the same type of canvas strap as used in Fifty Fathoms. This makes a nice and modest... 

Nice piece.

A big date that doesn't take away anything from dial is always a plus! I like this steel over the Red Gold version Aloha, Bob

Thanks Bob.

I will use this as my (or one of my) pool watch in Honolulu. Best, Kari

If you know a good dive shop in Hawaii,

I will go to 130 ft and take a nice picture of BB Leman. And hope that it does not leak... Best, Kari

Every now and then, brands are releasing new watches...

just not calling it "BaselWorld" or something grand to catch more attention/marketing....it's never a good time to time the "market", as we know, watches are not for investments. I think you did right, buy whenever you like, whatever you like...you're on ... 

Thanks Raymond! [nt]

Kari! I have a bad nees for you!

HE ALSO has that watch in his collection. You know who I am talking about! He has Aqua Lung and Chrono Leman, exactly like yours... Sorry my friend! P.S. he also has 3940G by the way

I have a weird feeling...

 
 By: dr.kol : March 19th, 2015-00:22
Ether HE is buying everything because he has been stealing Big Time; money and even countries. I do not trust to HIS good taste. Are YOU HIS Watch Advisor? That might explain the collection. All the best to you. Perhaps we meet in Geneva Salon when we are... 

5370 is must have defenitely

 
 By: EDJA : March 19th, 2015-01:17
But i would start from 5170 first. Purchase of these two at one moment is punishment for my bank account:) Flying Geneva tomorrow to leave the order for 5170 and another watch with ocean on its dial:) Will do some wrist photo of 5170 and 5370! Have a nice... 

Please let me also know the delivery time of

5170G. I am, like they say, very tempted. Have a wonderful trip to Geneva! Best, Kari
