    Congrats Shing - a strong number 2 on my Pilot watches list :-) And I agree fully on your great "summary of features", the strap looks really cool, and I am always a sucker for red!

    Shing,

    I feel better already! I'm shaking my monday morning blues by living vicariously through your acquisition(s)!

    I agree, the blue strap is the way to go. Hey Santoni friends, how about a true (dark) blue strap for us blue dial lovers.

    Here's how I'm dealing with the MONDAY morning blues (and all the fine print I need to read today! Oy Vey!)

    Sorry, should have grabbed a blue dial to follow this thread more accurately.

    Next Time!

    In the meantime Shing, I have to figure our trip to SIHH has cost you a pretty penny! LOLsorry, but the disease has gone Code Red in your case!

    Best,
    Larry

    Shing congratulations but by anyone's standards you are an addict. Not sure that The Crossroads centre in Antigua or the Betty Ford Clinic can cure you!

    My Dear Friend Shing,

    I read the entire post (2 pages so far, but likely to grow!) with great interest awaiting the final "reveal".

    To start, I must say that the Blue strap is a perfectionists choice, and would have also been my selection, LOL!!!!!!!

    Secondly, my heartfelt congratulations on your latest acquisition, it is simply stunning, and can't wait to match up mine with yours during my next visit!

    Wear it in the best of health & warmest regards!

    Wow Shing, that's wonderful! I love the way how you describe every detail of the watch, very well put!

    Enjoy and wear it in good health.

    Kind regards,

    full unveiling soon....:)

    Shing,

    Now that's what I call a real "Strip Tease". If I was there, I'd be sticking Dollar bills under the box lids !

    Major congrats on your new BP. By far one of the best looking editions yet. Enjoy on any wrist.

    Andy

    Big thanks Gents. If you haven't tried this piece on, I cannot recommend more that you find the first opportunity.

    @ Larry - yes Larry - Code Red ! thankfully this piece was ordered some time ago, so it fell within this year's 'budget'*. but as has been reported in the past, watches anonymous is a great business venture that myself and others are starting up, which also includes a mandatory programme of severe isolation against all things watch-related: the internet, advertisements, publicity materials, and just about anything watch-related and with the words 'watch' or 'timepiece' or 'wristwear', oh and the most transmittable hosts - the ^people^. LOL.

    nice ref 3786 btw !

    @ Nad - thanks Nad - when are u headed to HK ? it will truly be a pilot gtg this one next up !

    @ SC & everyone else: its the end of the unveiling :( the other box contained the big Pilot book that was sent complimentary as I missed my number one choice number, and got my second choice number instead:

    here are a couple of fresh shots from today as I popped out to buy my favorite brisket lunch (fear not -- no pics of the latter :-)...

    So far, Arne,SC, Shing, Terry Russell and myself have received our DFB BP's. I know that Kevin has one on order as does Nad.

    Have I missed anyone?
