Hi Stewart, I know exactly what you mean! I quite fancy the grey one myself and would love to get one so that I don't have to worry about any little knocks or getting it wet etc.

Enjoy it!!

: I know many of you will ponder 'why?', just get a 1133B.. but I do
: have an excuse, sort of..

: I had a 1133G, but it just didn't get enough wrist time, I was a
: little uncomfortable wearing it.. worried that I might do it
: some harm. I know that's daft, I'm not like that with my other
: Heuers - I can't explain why I felt that way - maybe it was
: because it was the most I've ever spent on a watch - who knows!.
: Also, I always did quite fancy the blue dial version.. but a)
: that's a lot of addition wedge to splash out, and b) I would be

: getting worn more.

: it is missing it's box/papers.. but I'm wearing it now, and I

: It's not a safe queen, being a little bruised and battle scared,
: but I love that.. as I really don't have to worry about
: dinging it.
