Jurgen, congratulations - that's what I call a "smooth deal" :-)

I bought a similar piece recently, but of course without the desireable inverse-panda dial. Taking into account you enthusiasm, you probably even caught it for a reasonable price.

Thanks for sharing. The experience of "catching" a long-wanted timepiece is almost as good as owning the actual watch.
