    Yes, I thought the 500 days might cheer you up after your own wait :-)
    It's odd. They clearly put a lot of thought into getting the typefaces right, yet not at the level of the individual numerals, and those modern 3s just kill it for me.

    And I love the Pierce. Great design and beautifully executed - love the contrast between the elegant gold numerals and the machined dial - highlighting the metalworking technology in a beautiful way (we don't seem to do this any more - now it's words in a brochure, or the *most* of something - WR, hardness, bpm etc)
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!
