I'm sure you had a fun time with Peter
The 1st time I saw the Shimoda i told myself that one day that watch will be on my wrist. I can't say that I'm there yet but my goal is getting near though ;-) Thanks for the pics Adrian and I know the rest of your collection is gonna take a back seat for...
Fantastic preview of coming events!

Congrats, Adrian
