Greetings Gang,
The AD called me at the office today. The EVO has landed!
First things first: the disclaimer. Pay no attention to the crappy photos that follow. They truly don't do the GO any justice at all - none what-so-ever. Non. Nada. Zip. I'm too excited right now. Better pics to follow. That's for damn sure!
Well, here it is. The unveiling.
First...the outer cardboard box. The teaser.
Next...the inner box. It's gorgeous! Things are getting better.
Whoooaaaaa....daddy!! Wow! Oh, and please note the included magnifying loupe. Very nice touch.
And here it is out of the box.
I'm glad I followed everyone's advice here and got it locally. Picking it up was a fun experience. From the trembling hand as I wrote out the check for the balance ...to the opening of the box...to the bracelet sizing...to the being fawned over by two sales associates...to the other customer standing next to us watching who simply said, "Wow!"
And I gotta tell ya...WOW is right! Pay NO attention to my first pics. This is a truly stunning watch. Stunning. The fit and finish is flawless. The movement is beautiful. The pie-pan detail on the face as well as the chamfered markers is superb. And the bracelet & clasp is absolutely the finest I've ever seen. It's a fairly substantial watch at 42mm, with a weight similar to the Omega PO I'd say, but the curved case sits very well on my wrist. Wow.
Pinch me. I can't believe I'm wearing it.
Oh...and the non-WIS side of my brain has already informed me that I can't have any more watches for a long, long time.
-Ben
