Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays for those who don't celebrate Christmas) my TWAT brothers (and lurker sisters)!

Frills, best wishes to you and yours too. BTW thanks for the present! ^^^^^

Merry Christmas to my Christian TWAT-buddies!

Just another day at the office for me tomorrow, but my vicarious sense is nonetheless excited for you all. I can't help wondering what a guy like Frilly might have under the tree...

Suav, nice work.

Compliments of the season to you

Actually it should be HR (Hadley Roma) Alligator. The Sharknado store is out of HD Alligators. I'll post pics when the strap arrives.

I was trying to figure out what HD meant. Anyway, I can't wait to see what the strap looks like.

Merry Christmas, people! Picture taken just before leaving for church. I am a sentimental soul, and for Christmas Evening nothing but my late father's Certina will do. No Patek, no Jaeger, no Rolex. Certina it is.

I have a cordovan NATO strap for my PAM, thin but looks good

Beautiful watch.

Happy Christmas, Everyone.

PAM = own rules I think

sentimental soul

You say that like it's a bad thing. Nice share, lovely watch too.

am i crazy?

Arguably, yes. For wanting this, no. It's beautiful.

I looked it up, and I believe the chairman of Hublot watches also makes cheese as an aside.

Apparently it's not sold and he only gives it away as gifts.. Came through my twitter feed - apparently gifted to former Tour de France Champion Cadel Evans.

Sweet cheezus, this all makes sense, free cheese with your cheesy watches!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Congrats!  Its probably one of the easiest to use world time watches and its a great movement.  Its movement is the basis of the VC Overseas Dual Time and AP RO Dual Time.  Great find, I greatly prefer the original design over revised version.  Congrats again and acquiring a really great watch!

It really is, and one of the reasons why I wanted this particular model. Travel schedule makes the dual time a highly useful complication, but I have zero patience for things that are difficult to learn and/or use.

I actually really wanted the revised version - if I preferred the original I could have saved a pretty penny!

Good answer.

I wasn't able to find the original MSRP, but Tiff watches take a hard hit on the secondary market ime. We bought this for a song.

As always I knew we could count on you for a lovely holiday photo.

Merry Christmas to Frills and all of our Christian TWAT Bros.

Stitchy, if you frequent this thread you are crazy regardless which watches grab your attention

Oh...my bad, I didn't look closely enough. I like yours and I like the original. The one I didn't care for is this one http://cdn.watchuwant.com/sites/def...hic-refq1528420-ss-silver-dial-21976_7193.jpg

You made a great choice, really functional, easy to use and beautiful.

So Ben (~B~) was nice enough to ship my watches early to me in hopes of having them for the TWAT meet up in NYC. I told him I would post some pictures here for everyone, and I know he'd love to hear feedback (both positive and negative) from the members here. Sorry for the poor quality, I didn't have time to set up lighting or do much editing as I was running late for my own birthday party. I put all but one picture in spoilers so as to not bore those who aren't interested. I loaded them as small pictures, so please click to enlarge.

I hope everyone has a great holiday.
