Hello, from this new Stingray owner!...

[Big Poppa]

Fabulous photos and I happen to be a watch guy too........

 

[jlepre]

Two of the photos also incorporate another love of mine, collecting mechanical wristwatches... go figure

The watch says it's time to play that beautiful bass!

I love that PG!

 

[Jodizzle]

My gonch,
that is sweeeet! I'm uber jealous of how quickly you've learned bass
Nice choice, don't let Ritchie touch it anymore

Everybody, THANK you! I truly appreciate the welcome (and the help getting logged in, Gav!).

To answer a very few questions: The strap on the Dubey & Schaldenbrand watch is genuine Louisiana 'gator. Big Poppa, there are plenty of forums for us watch nuts

And as a horological (that's "study of time!" ) teaser, here's what the movement looks like in this watch....

Hand engraved and gilded...

 

[Old_Guy]

Your photography skills are pretty dang good, too.

+ 100

Hey, I'M thrilled with how quickly (2.5 months or so) EB turned my order around! It helps that Bob at POPS Music handed my order in personally at NAMM!!!

Hey, he may be close but Ritchie doesn't know where I live... yet!

Now that is just bad ass! (The bass is very cool too)

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to another expensive addiction!
(I have stopped on the watches and started on the 'Rays )

Absolutely beautiful StingRay you have there, great combination, classic & modern at the same time. I love it!

 

[BrandonS]

I sold a watch to afford the 'Ray. Now I'm thinking of doing it again! :O

Thanks!

 

[INMT]

The only one he had was black with gold hardware (not quite my style)

I think that might have been an LE, a 2006 maybe?

 

[BrandonS]

Yes, they did say it was the 2006 Ltd Ed.
If anyone is interested I can get them the phone number of the shop.
