    New Arrival at long last :-)

    Well what a day! Awoke at 0430 giddy as child on Christmas morning. Quick shower then jumped into the car for a little drive from Herefordshire to Kent! Well no hiccups on the roads and didn't even get held up on the M25 which is a first. Arrived in Maidstone to a rather damp drizzly welcome. A little early so had a quick walk around and I must say Maidstone is quite nice. 9.15 came and like a flash I shot round to Pudding Lane. Pushed the button and was greated by Jonathan of Watchfinder. An hour later after a chat and a few laughs I left the proud owner of my first Patek. It's the 5165a Aquanaut. It looks beautiful and is so so comfy to wear. It oozes quality and understated at the same time. All I can say is that I am one very happy Timmy!! A big thanks to all who convinced me the PP choice was a no brainier. Some pics attached taken with the iPhone so I apolgise for the quality.

    Congratulations Tim and welcome to the Aquanaut club! I'm so glad you chose the Patek over the Blancpain.

    I'm sure you'll enjoy wearing it just as much as I do mine

    Congrats!

    Brilliant! The Aquanaut is a very, very nice timepiece... understated as you already said.
    Huge congrats on your first Patek. Wear it in good health.
