    You have seen it before, when I shared a picture from my iPhone camera at 30.000 feet when the dream watch was finally mine.

    I am the luckiest man alive, when we saw it this summer and my wife and I were discussing if we could afford to buy it her words were - "well, how about we make this your birthday present?"

    Now, as my thoughts go out to all my new forum friends in the US on the 10 year anniversary of the tragic events in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, 9/11 also happens to be my birthday! My birthday 10 years ago was strange, and it was spent in front of the television watching CNN as the world stood still.

    My 42nd birthday is a lot better, and with a Perpetual Calendar I finally got around to taking a few decent shots of my birthday present - with Sunday September 11, 2011 - and a full moon, showing.

    Enjoy - you know I do :-)

    The Portuguese and Teak - perfect combination??

    I love how the moon came out on this one:

    The obligatory wrist shot:

    And lastly, the Portuguese does not live too far away from the water:

    Thanks and best wishes for a peaceful day to you all!

    Many Happy Returns....

    ..and what a super watch and set of pictures!

    I've been real close to this exact watch before as I shared with you previously, and really like it. That picture of the night sky showing with the watch at 2.37 is absolutely amazingly beautiful.

    Best regards
