God.

Look at that thing.

Some watches take a little growing on you but the Pela was instant love right away for me. They did an outstanding job on that.

Best unboxing ever, Bonesey! Judging by the quantity & quality of your pics you really put some effort into sharing this special moment with us. It was worth it, I ate every bit of it right up. And.. that lume shot!! Why is it so nice!!! :cry:

Makes me want to do a blowout sale on my watchbox and take my fist full of cash to an AD for "the one".

PS- rep points for the great thread & watch.. not that you need them. :D

Just gauging roughly by the internet clock it's running at about +5 secs/day which is good enough for a non-chronometer movement I think.

Same for me mate, love at first sight. Although I did sway between saving a bit more cash for a vintage Sea-Dweller, or at just a little bit more I could have gotten a nice vintage Tudor sub. But this won out at the end.

I enjoyed making the thread, was kind of a mini-review as well :) Glad you enjoyed it mate.

@Bonessey
is it true that gen watches in the Netherlands are tax free or cheaper than the rest of the world? (hearsay?)
Very nice watch mate, wear in good health!

No, but if you're ordering from inside the EU then of course local taxes are already applied. So I think dutch taxes would be 19% and british would be 20%. So I saved 1% of the cost.
