Miyake, gorgeous!! :yahoo:

Sigh... I just got through this thread again.. and I'm dying to get my bbb 35 ghw.. I'm actually even considering a pre-owned one too. I just don't know where I could find one, besides ebay..

Oh, is there anyone who has both items in the new and old box? What are the differences? I know that the new one is thinner, but is there more? Of course we can't know if it develops a patina as beautiful as it hasn't been produced long enough.. I'm just wondering if it's worth the long wait, if the new box isn't as amazing as the old one..
 
I thought I could finally contribute to this thread. I could never buy a new box as I would freak out from all the scrathes and so I decided to go the vintage path way since I don't have kids and don't need my hands so much. (Elina and OB. You are my heroes!)
