Something wicked this way comes
Ah, how I love Saturday deliveries from DAVIDSW...Blurred from excitement: Hmm, pretty green box:Oooooooooohhhhh............yyyeeeeeeeeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!! BNIB, baby!!Ben Lee, you are to blame for this! After seeing enough of your fantastic photos of this beauty, I was smitten and hooked. From then on, it was only a matter of time!

Picked up another
I have been looking for the last couple of months for a new piece. Wanted to get something that is simple and classic. Looked at a number of vintage pieces but prices are silly and i never felt comfortable really knowing what i was buying. I had looked at the DJ 41 at a AD while i was traveling and really liked the way it looked and felt on the wrist. Love the refinements, especially the way the black dial catches the light. Thanks Patrick!
