Hello fellow 3T members and wach addicts...
So taslk about a TGIF experience... this past Friday, not 1, not 2, not 3 but FOUR new to me (1 brand new) watched landed.. WOWZER.. snoopy1.gif Yeah I did a little dance too!:)
 
I couldn't believe the timing, all bought at different times and from three different sellers...
***The Orient Blue Mako was bought brand new from their web site. I am already very impressed with its lookds, great dial/bezel color...Great finish for $.Have not even removed the protective plastic, just had a chance to open the box today and don't have the battery pack in my camera !!! mistake.gifto take pics now.. So pics will follow hopefully tonight.
 
***I purchased the Parnis Power Reserve with Blue hands and hour/minute markers AND the Yellow Sea Devil from Chadhand6.gif, who is a great seller/individual... GREAT communication, watches are as decribed, maybe better even, and shipping was extremely prompt!
I have to say I am SUPER IMPRESSED with the Parnis... WOW it is a looker and very comfortable to wear. I first put it on yesterday morning to go to church and have not taken it off since... well yeah to sleep, but it went right back on this morning. Best $$ spent on watch thus far!ThumbsUp02.gif AND IT came with two straps!
I have not had a chance to wear the Sea Devil yet and it is on the rubber strap, which I do not like to when I get a chnace I'll switch to the leather or bracelet... SHOTS below are NOT mine, but Chad's from his FD thread. Sorry. I will post mine later.
 
***Last but not lest, I finally got the perfect Orsa Sea Angler ETA 2824 (Pic below is seller's) I had been wanting from also 3T member Huck hand6.gifwho also was GREAT to deal with... Very prompt communication and shipping, real painless transaction and very nice upfront guy! I opened the package (first one to arrive and I ahd 5 minutes available) right away and put it on, kept it on all day Friday and Saturday to take my girls to soccer... I could not stop starring at the watch:) I got some good pics of it like the Parnis but again... no battery pack in camera so can't load them up!:( It is an awesome match and more...ME than the Mostrum I had bought 2 weeks ago... which found a good home...
So this thread would be worthless wihtout pics... so here are some but I need to post those of the Parnis and Orsa that I took this week end and will take shots of the Orient and Sea Devil tonight or tomorrow to add to this thread... thanks for reading... I am obvisouly a very happy WIS... and wach addict:)
Thanks again to Huck and Chad!thankyou.gif
Cheers
Brice
