I entered my order as soon as it was launched past year and it took a long long time to arrive.

I was happy to receive the call from the local Boutique a couple of days ago telling me that the watch had arrived and waiting for me in their shop.

Made the long drive to downtown yesterday to take delivery of it.

It was well worth the wait I feel. Enjoying my SM 300 Bond 60th Anniversary model on my wrist today and guess will remain on my wrist during all next week.

Have a nice weekend dear friends!

Cheers!
