New Addition - JLC AMVOX2 Paris Boutique Racing Edition

I just got my newest addition. 2016 was a busy year in watches; I purchased 3 and sold 2. I’ll have to slow down in 2017. If not the wife may shoot me… This latest edition is by far my favorite (for now).

I purchased the black PVD version a few weeks ago and liked it, but just did not love it. About that same time I saw a posting for this online. I ended up returning the black PVD piece and starting a negotiation on this. After a week or so we agreed on a deal.
