Dear Sue,

Good for you! The saga is finally over...

If it is the latest version, I am also a little envious of you as I could 
only fondle one a few months ago. Still saving my pennies. Will take a long 
time I envisage.

Meantime have to contend with my year old Lux 50 ASPH. 

Also happy to hear that your husband has his too.

We can't get insurance over here in Singapore. At least fair claims are 
concerned. Maximum value claim able is 5% of market value. The premium is 
actually hosted than claims.

Enjoy your new Noctilux.

Regards,

David Ching
