Way too close in color to remember properly (it was also super early in the morning). If I had to guess though I think it had a black strap so the standard I suppose.
Black strap version is the 50 LE (Pictured here) Blue strap is the one still available at most ADs And for what it's worth, I wear all my watches. Couldn't stand taking them out of the safe and just looking at them. In saying that, I'm pretty careful to look after the special ones.
But the blue strap often appears black at quick glance in the store. I cant imagine that they would have one of the 50 limited ones unsold brand new...
Due to the similarities, I think the small run of 50 pieces was warranted. That one has a black strap, whereas the regular Gulf is blue.
As an AFOL, this amazes me. When I buy Lego, I want to open it and build it, not stare at the box, gathering dust on the shelf.
I wear all of mine too. It's the reason I buy them and that would apply to a $50 quartz watch or a $50,000 ALS or JLC.
I haven't Googled it, but I'd guess it A Friend of Lego. Which is completely different to being A Friend of Dorothy.
the one that was announced in the forum is already reserved and now there is another one in Chrono24, curious that the few that have gone on sale come from the UK market, it will be a country where more pieces will have arrived
Curious I googled it to.. at first I wondered why anyone would be a Fan of “Africa online” Then looked down one and found it. Who knew such a thing existed. Go on...google it... you know you want to
Thanks- Wall clock was a good find off Ebay and the winder of which I have matching watch boxes was a find from a trade show in Hong Kong. A Chinese supplier but one who makes quality stuff for the world market. They supply trade but I got this as a one off at the end of the Fair.
