I'm fighting the temptation on this model. Unfortunately, I caved on the triple black auto Bolt. I'm so impressed by the look of that Bolt that it took my mind off the S1 entirely. I'm going to behave until the rubber SAS comes out. Maybe it will pull the prices on the bracelet models lower?

Congrats!!

I wonder when they'll sell out of the Green one, it sure is popular.

I bought the green but turned around and canceled it and ordered the black and rose. Just could not convince myself I like that shade of green. Would have really liked a triple black version. So I picked up the triple black sea spider.

Also got the gold lupah OTV and the gold angle feesh for the wife.

Still on the fence for the triple black bolt auto.

Got the black and rose tone after hours of procrastination. I'm supposed to be in the NBZ since I'm waiting on the Thanksgiving OTV. Got the wife a Lupah set and a piece of jewelry, so I dont feel that bad. I would have never caved in had she not complimented on the S1.

Wanted the green, but had just bought the Puz in green. So, I got the yellow, and my wife (who was watching the Shop with me), chimed in that the blue version was gorgeous and I should get that too. I always do what the Boss says, so I bought both. Because she actually made the recommendation, that watch won't count against me right?

I already have the green/gold on black leather and love it. It really is a cool watch. Congrats, and wear it in good health. I ended up getting the OTV Lupah in goldtone and the goldtone/black Sea Spider.

Thanks for the pic!! It actually came today!!! The USPS truck pulled up to the mailbox and I really kinda set the leaf hog down too hard. Hell I TOSSED the leaf hog down and trotted to the mailbox!!! A NEW WATCH FOR ME YAAAAAAAYYYYY!!! (I'm 50!).

I won't bother taking any pics of this one, I don't have the gear to do this one any justice. It has what I'd describe as a "deep" look to the face and complication with a slightly luminous effect on the green. This is a striking watch! Shop NBC's cameras didn't completely capture this watch!!!

This one is really beautiful!!

Nice work Ayal!!
