...and it is difficult to imagine a more fitting way to mark the conferral of your degree than a 'bespoke' watch of that calibre. Congratulations, on both counts. By the way: what was the topic of your PhD? Cheers, pplater.

Seeing your post reminded me of when I received mine. I found the suspended packaging a bit of a marvel too! Wonderful of the Habrings to give you a complimentary strap but that doesn't surprise me. Wear it with pride. A personalised watch to treasure for...
