A couple of new additions to the family...

Just wanted to share this on the Purist as I had a pretty busy but exciting week.
First up was the arrival of this little fella, Vincent.
He "hatched" on 20 May in Sydney after a rather long delivery. But his mum pulled through like a trooper and they are both doing very well. If you were wondering, he is named after Vincent Calabrese. 
My wife thinks its after Van Gogh but we can both live in our own realities.
On 21 May I received a call from my good friend, who also happened to be IMHO the finest swiss watch ADs in Australia. He congratulated me with even more news. So in between settling classes, I snuck off to his store.
He had something very nice for me, still sealed in its factory packed "placenta". Keeping in theme with earlier events, we "bursted the water" and eventually cut the umbilical cord. A proud father holding the second delivery. Not sure if you can guess what this piece was...
Making sure everything is in place...
And of course, the wristshot but more scans to follow in the coming weeks on the Patek forum. The movement and its finishing is just amazing!
What a nice way to end a week with my 5124G and to have an opportunity to experience a "cheesy" advertising slogan. But as more experienced fathers have told me, "now the fun really begins".
Cheers
Gaz
