They seem to be arriving thick and fast now!! Strange how there seems to be no consistency re the fitting of the straps! Mine came complete with rubber strap fitted - a certain irony here in that I may soon change it for a blue waterproof strap!!

A Limited Edition for 2008 sounds like a great idea to me - my vote would be for a mechanical C1 Russell (either automatic or hand wound). Appreciate that there has already been debate in this forum about availability of an automatic calibre for the Russell, but might be a hand wound movement available.

Well folks, I am totally gutted. My LE was shipped to Oz on the 10th of December, and hasn't made it so far...
And I'm of to the UK for three weeks today. Looks like it could be some time before I see mine.. longer yet if the Post Office don't hold it 'til I return. So frustrated!

Hi there stueyman. Sorry about that, at least you will have another present to look forward to on your return home!

Don't let the disappointment spoil your Christmas. Have a good time in the UK.

Yay! :D
#36 is finally in my possession, it looks fantastic in the flesh. Can't wait to get it home and re-sized now.
Chuffed to bits as they say!
