Something new getting "kicked" to me....

early next week. How do you say "Goal" in German?
Oh yes....pics will follow.

I know what you are waiting for....exciting. nt

Tor...

this watch has a great dial Alan, happy and excited as you are.

Argiris

Ziel?....

That's just great, Alan! It seems it is arriving a little sooner than expected! I can't wait to see the photos!

Best regards,
Jim

Ah...

I saw Argiris' post after I hit "send." I stand corrected! You can tell my knowledge of football terminology is somewhat limited to the U.S. variety.

Best regards,
Jim

Well, there's only one watch fitting that hint...

Congratulations.

"Tor" is correct. - "Ziel" means "target" (nt)

Sounds more to me like an "own goal"....

But unlike when this normally happens, as you can see Alan both the home team as well as all the spectators are thrilled !

As always with special things in life, I am sure it was worth the wait.

Cannot wait to see some photos.

Best regards
Mark

I was just thinking of that watch too ...

... because I saw it yesterday in TV on the wrists of our German players and coach.

It's really an amazing watch I'd like to have too. Congratulations on your choice and please send some pictures when it's there at your field.

It appears that very few of these are coming to...

the US and I am told that mine is the first one to actually arrive. I know it is not everyone's cup of tea, but I just love both the design of the dial and the matching strap.I wanted it from the moment MF first posted the pictures last year.
I should receive it on Monday.

And "Tor" has some other meaning too...

I connect that meaning to football often, as well as to the victims of a mysterious disease, caused by the "Uhren Virus". Tor also means fool.

I think it is a great watch

Sometimes the Limited Editions look better than the regular ones. As with the CFDV I think the DFB Ingenieur Chrono is a wonderful watch.

Yes, right. "TOR" has three meanings . . .

1. a gate
2. a goal in a game of soccer (not as target, destination or aim
3. a fool (like: "You poor sap!")

Alan, you've wait since SIHH and now it's a SCORE!

Congrats on landing one. Very special with the 89360 movement. A very distinctive timepiece. I'm sure you'll love it. So you get a salute from the 1st Gen DFB. I hope to see yours one day.

Best,
Larry

First Gen DFB is a really nice variant on...

the doppel. I forget....is it numbered and if so how many?

A fine looking watch

I have one aquaintance who has bought one, despite him being English and it is a World Cup year.

Well, I will be cheering on the US team...

while wearing my DFB watch. Very few in the states will know the difference.

500 pieces, mine is 475/500 nt

Wow, GREAT watch Larry & super pictures. nt

One of the best solid casebacks. nt
