    Best Post of the Year !

    Kevin, what a great reveal and start to the New Year. This is such a handsome piece that when I saw Bills picture of you with that watch on your wrist that I knew it would be difficult to resist.

    Happy for you - wear in good health.

    I would like to echo Mark - the best post of the year !

    Wow what an amazing great timing to have such a beautifully elegant PPC blue dial. The transition seemed to take place very rapidly.

    CONGRATULATIONS ! Amazing.

    WOW KEVIN - you are the man! Big Congratulations! I am so glad your 2013 started a while back, if not you wouldn't have been able to post this today - as far as I know the NYC store hasn't opened for 2013 yet - or did they have a Midnight Special session for you last night? LOL

    What a year it has been for you!

    Kevin, what a great way to kick off the new year. I viewed this piece yesterday in Singapore and the blue is stunning. Pictures don't do it justice. Congrats.

    YES! Kevin - I think I'd be only slightly happier if I'd gotten the watch myself. Well, maybe a little more than "slightly" but I am VERY happy for you. It's a stunning watch and we all know how much you've wanted it. Good for you. Looking forward to seeing it in person in a few weeks. And thanks for the bonus changeover photos.

    Happy New Year to all.

    Kevin,

    That PPC is just stunning. The "dense blue" is unlike any other and the layout of the dial reminds me of a classic Pinball Machine. I visualize small steel bearings ricotchaing off the sub-dials and Repeater Chimes singing away. According to the pic's, you've already racked up 2013 points. Well played !

    BTW, You know I want it...

    Nice start out of the gate,

    Andy

    Wow Kevin, now that's a start of the Year. BIG CONGRATS!!!
    You must be a very strong man - initially to be able to resist to long time to this blue and all the "You know you want it", and then to keep quiet an do the reveal in this forum just now.

    I can only echo as well Mark with "Best Post of the Year" 2012 and probably 2013!

    Wish you infinite joy with that beauty.

    Cheers

    I'm late joining the parade of well wishes. We all knew it was inevitable. Just a few weeks ago, Dec 15, our friend already had this Blue Beauty scoped out and taking it for a test drive. I was surprised the trigger wasn't pulled then, but now is good too. Congratulations Kevin, you did want it.
