    A few of you know that I like to tease a reveling of a new model. Well perhaps this post will break with tradition a little - although in some aspects the tease began during SIHH 2012 when I ordered the watch - but a very happy bunny that it has joined me now.

    Well done and well deserved, Sir Andrew, whose middle name is Laureus. I'm happy it's on your wrist I know two State spiders who are jealous as they anxiously await theirs.

    Congrats Andrew, another blue beauty on your wrist!

    Btw - will I see your Laureus bike kit somewhere between Liege and Bastogne in a couple of weeks? I'll be riding the 270km cyclosportif on Saturday and then watch the pros on Sunday :-)

    Hi Skule - good luck on your epic ride - and have a great time watching the pros. I am off for a Trainingslager for the TorTour Challenge - and a Laureus group will also be with us.

    Another beauty!

    Personally, with watches I prefer the "instant reveal" to the tease approach, especially when you have a prize like this to show. It looks great!

    Congratulations on another great addition to the collection.
