    New Little Prince Pilot arrives Friday morning. I hope I'm as pleased as many of you who have commented upon receipt. I've never bought a watch I haven't seen in person, so here goes. First an Aquatimer, now this - will this virus ever be cured?

    Congratulations, Andy. And no, there is no cure for what you have contracted. If you try real hard you may be able to control the worst aspects of the disease. But it will never be out of your system. Learn to enjoy the euphoria that comes with the next incoming package.

    From one Andy to another....the virus ? Fagetaboutit. Best you can do is take your dose of watches like the rest of us and accept it. One side effect...you will find your wallet gains and loses weight constantly.

    No doubt Friday morning is going to be very exciting. The pleasure will be overwhelming. Looking forward to seeing pic's of the Little Guy on the wrist.

    An advance congratulation to you!

    Do you do the following,

    1. Constant staring of your watch when it is on your wrist
    2. Taking photo of it anytime & anywhere
    3. Checking out this forum daily or worst hourly or anytime it allow
    4. After buying a new iwc watch and checking out the next one momentarily

    If you have, there is no cure for the virus.

    It will be tough on you the night before Fri, sleep well! LoL

    Looking forward to your new arrival soon.

    Hi Andy,

    This is a little prelude to you before Fri, it will make you sleep better on Thursday night...... LoL

    @Jarrod, good luck to you, you are serious infected....:-)

    @Andy, do check out the blue alligator strap, it matches perfectly with the LPP.

    Is it not amazing? You got brought down by Übervirus ...

    ... And in an attempt at denial try revert that fact by fooling yourself you actually were fully in control and consciously "pulled the trigger" :-)

    Great move. Great watch - I love mine and it's gotten significant wrist time since it landed here.

    Wear in good health. And do post pictures ASAP please - as only frequent looks at wrist shots seem to help me keep Übervirus at bay here for any period of time.

    After the holidays are over, we should do a dedicated rollcall for the LPP editions. Quite sure there are a number more that will be revealed in the coming weeks.

    Andy, another shot of the LPP to help ease ( or add to ) the anxiousness. Your wait is almost over. Show us ASAP.

    Sharing the excitement with you,

    Ok, just received my lpp this morning. Here's a not so good photo on my wrist (cell phone's not great). I really like the watch - lighter than my AT, clean, crisp lines, and the perfect size for my smaller than average wrist. Great stuff!

    another attempt - I'm obviously not a photobucket / forum expert!

    Thanks all; I'm very pleased. Can't stop staring at this beauty. My wife even likes it (she's not typically a huge fan of my "hobby"). Thanks again.

    Congrats. Once you work out how to use photobucket to post pictures it is a breeze. Watch looks great. Everyone certainly seems to love the LPP.
