    Finally it arrived! so some pics

    I posted before about the patient wait I Have had for my MKii Stingray. I specified white sword hands and I have to say it is really excellent. Fortunately I had another watch to tell the time with during the wait. Even UK customs took over a week to send me another bill for the duty. I tried to take some pics, I think this is the best I can get with my little digi compact. Realised I had a few divers so I stuck them all together for this pic.

    I really like this one! Even though I usually like these hands, in this specific watch I would prefer the standard hands, in order to be closer to the FF it homages.

    Thanks Markos, i take your point but there are lots of those about and the beauty of customisation is that you can have what you like even if nobody else likes it.

    Of course! I totally agree with you. I just expressed my opinion for this watch I generally like. IMHO it is a good thing that people have different taste, so I never try to convince anyone for my taste in something or someone. Imagine all men having the same taste in women :D

    I always like customized watches and I also like to have the option to customize a product I buy. Luckily nowadays the companies that provide such capabilities are constantly increasing.

    Congrats,
    MkII really makes nice versions of old classics. The only downside ordering from Yao & co. is the wait. I had to wait a loooong time for a dial and a set of hands.

    Great watch Jim. I had one recently, but it was in too nice a condition for me so flipped it.

    Real good presence on the wrist!
