congrats..very nice...

I always have a soft spot for yellow-hands chronographs..
...i think previous generations of Oris diver used to have also....and maybe Tag Aqua Racers too

Well, finally got your own ball, share with us at the watch review, something fun to understand the watch better. Another Ball lover.. :Cheers:
