Dear fellow jewelry and watch lovers! :D
After wanting this watch for more than 10 years, I can finally call it my own.
It´s absolutely breathtaking and stunningly beautiful! I love watches and there are not many which are not on my wish list, but the La Strada has always been my holy grail - the watch I always adored most - to me the most beautiful of all, because of it´s feminine and bracelet-like design, which by the way is so much better than the redesigned version! With the glistering diamonds - a dream, and pictures can´t catch the sparkle and beauty of it.

So, two weeks ago was my birthday and I have been randomly searching for this watch longer than I can remember, just to see how prices are and maybe looking for a bargain - I never thought I would be able to buy it until I turned 40, but somehow, one week before my 28th birthday this beauty showed up in the internet for sale. I was thrilled! It was everything I was looking for - brand new and with a price tag that matched my funds! As if it was destined to be mine, one week before I turned 28, even if it would be a more appropriate 30th birthday gift, haha.

The funny thing is that I have considered buying the Roadster with MOP face that I want and almost got to buy a Jaeger Le Coultre Reverso Florale - but I didn´t for various reasons and it was just like I was forced to save the money towards my real dream watch. :D

I can´t put it in words how happy I am, I still can´t believe that I can stop looking, searching and admiring pictures. I feels like a dream and I have to look at it every day at least once to be sure it belongs to me. Do you have ever wanted something so badly, that when you finally got it, you just couldn´t believe it??? I´m crazy I know, but I just ADORE that watch!!!

Ok, enough said...pic overload ahead :D
