Arriving tomorrow
I am sleepless. Tomorrow I will be collecting my dream watch, a 5970G. To me this is the pinnacle of my watch collecting ambitions and I just hope that I can now rest easy without feeling that yearning every time I walk past a watch store (at least for a while). I simply adore the look of this watch and it is (I am) now responsible for emptying my wallet of my hard earned savings. But what the hell! Life is for living, right?
I will post some pictures if you are interested. Thanks to everyone who regularly posts on this forum. I am not an active poster, but you're comments and threads for been a huge help to me in reaching some 'challenging' decisions and have kept me thoroughly entertained along the way.
