Thanks so much for the well-wishes, everyone. I feel extremely fortunate to have this work out at all, nevermind this close to the actual date.
It's nice to be able to share the story with you all. In the real world anybody I know would be like "Hang on, you spent how much on a watch?? And more importantly, why are you acting like you're lucky to do so?!"

Brilliant story! Congratulations my friend. And early happy birthday.
Can totally relate about no car being fast enough for such an occasion ;) LOL! And I second your comment about how bonkers folks think we are for spending what we do on watches, in comparison to how normalised it is on watch forums. What a mad World. |

Thanks again, everyone. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the whole situation, including the warm response here.
I will say... I've been a bit frustrated over the years trying to get good pics of my watches. I see them looking great in real life and then take a picture and it's almost always a let down. But wow is this thing photogenic. I feel like I have a supermodel walking around my house and I can't hardly find a way to make her look bad DSC_6851_DxO.jpg |
