    New member with a new watch

    Hello everyone,

    I am a watch enthusiast from Norway who got a tip on this forum when I was looking for a specific watch. I had been looking for this in Norway for a long time, but it is rarely to be seen.

    The tip led me to a nick, which later was going to be my hero.

    First of all I would like to send my gratitude to Henrik Gelardi for being a pleasure to deal with and who sold me my first real grail.

    After pressing update at my postal tracking service a few days, it arrived in Norway.

    I want to share this great experience with you, so here is my unboxing:


    The package was unusual big for a watch:)



    Tools are necessary.



    A great job on the package, that one we like!



    And what lies beneath?



    It's sure a box.



    Which left a big hole.



    And what do we have here?





    Yes, it is finally here :) the watch I have been dreaming about for months.






    The hunt is over for now :)





    And some WS! Damn this feels good :)





    Thank you Henrik ;) I'll be sure to stay around at this forum. Thanks all!

    Tried the date version a few weeks ago and wasn't completely sold, the ND though seems like it might tick all the right boxes. Congrats!

    Welcome from a fellow Norwegian. A few more of us now and we carry on where our ancestors left some centuries ago and create a Viking-TZ :D
    Great place - great people - stunning watches

    Thank you everybody. I find myself loving this watch on NATOs, though I have ordered some leather straps as well.

    Today on this brown Nato which I feel is a good match:

    That sounds like a good idea, I think Norway has a great number of watch enthusiasts, all though we are a relative small country:)

    The no date version is discontinued, but the date version is still available.

    Hey Jonas

    Great watch and nice combo with the nato strap
    I miss my Legend diver a lot, the only thing I did not like was the lume, it was not good (as I remember it) 8)
