    Smile I'M OVER THE MOON .!

    Hello everyone.

    i was Pleasantly Interrupted by the FedEx Guy this morning who showed up at my Office and said:
    you've got a Package from GERMANY .!!!
    i was Not Expecting anything so Soon. but i Knew who it's Coming from.



    Suddenly my Heart was Racing and my Face Turned RED .!
    Great Thoughts were running Through my Mind telling myself: wow Gunter .. You Really DID it. !

    Adrenaline Took Over, and used my Bare Hands like an Animal Killing it's Prey .
    Ripped off the Plastic Wrapping like a Mad Man and Opened the Box.!!
    this is when the AHHHHHHHHHHH Moment took place. it's like the Moment when you meet your 1st Love. a True kind of Love..

    after i Danced around a bit . i Decided to Take some Pictures. but to my Surprise.!! i didn't have my Good Camera in the Office, and my Only Option is to use my Phone Camera .

    Many on us have seen it on the Forum.. however it is a Prototype that had not Made it into Production (they had Decided on a Cream Dial instead)..

    unfortunately , These HORRIBLE Pictures Don't do Justice to This Watch . (my Apology) .. but i Promise i'll take Better Shots soon.


    Gentleman. here it is. the Ultra Limited Edition . Nr: 01/01
    LOVE it's UNIQUE Dial Layout and Color ( especially).




    the Beautiful UNITAS with Gold Plate




    Brushed Case and Polished Steel Hands.



    i happen to be wearing the Nav-B Today so Decided to take a side by side pictures.



    2 Different Brown Dials on Both . again. Pictures don't show it's true Beauty.

    in the MarineTimer, it looks Red-ish but in Person it's a bit Darker Brown than Picture below.
    also, it came on a Very Dark Brown Leather. Love it's Texture.. i've never seen it before but a Great Combo nonetheless ..



    Wrong Shirt !! but a Very Quick Mandatory Wrist Shot.



    WOW. it feels so Surreal. i can't Believe my eyes. i keep Pinching myself that i'm not Dreaming.

    i want to say: many MANY THANKS Gunter. Thank you Steinhart Team for Making my Dream Watch come True. .
    your GENEROSITY is Second to Non..
    i'm so Fortunate to have This Magnificent MARINE TIMER . Thanks again for everything.



    and Thank you all for Looking.

    Cheers
    Tony

    Whaaaaat?! A personalized watch from Steinhart?!?!? Congratulations! Looks very different from styles I'm used to seeing, would love to see it in person though! TBH, I thought the lead up was leading to you receiving THE Monopusher ;)

    Wear it in good health :)

    Good for you mate, 01/01...... You do know that is the original & only complete brown Marine Timer right down to the original case & caseback..? If I remember correctly the only other dial ever produced is the very first unfinished prototype & never mounted as a complete watch.

    Damn fine mate... Enjoy it, wear it well & often.

    Thanks guys.

    Mark. Wish i were Taking Delivery of this Illusive Monopusher ,however i'm not Sure if it will ever be Made . but Hope someday.

    The Crown & the Ring's over all Length is about 4 mm. but Wears Great on the Left Wrist (which i usually do) .though, it won't be as Comfortable on the Right Wrist..

    I actually like the style of this watch. I would have bought one if there was a 42mm version. Congrats on your 01/01!!!
