It’s these kind of great stories that really define the meaning of a watch and articulates the why of the fascination with watches. Congratulations on your success and I wish you continued success.

Congratulations from another 116520 owner! I own my own small business, too, and I know how hard it is. But the rewards, as you've found out, are worth all the worry, sweat, and effort. Cheers!

Congrats on finding your way and the Daytona.
 I wish you and your family continued health, happiness, and success.  I have to admit, I was relieved. From the title of your thread, I feared it would be yet another post about someone not willing to pay the premium and moaning about it on TRF.

Great story and been there myself. In a lot of ways I feel like my "real" life didn't begin until just a few years ago. I'm 47 so I have some catching up to do.... ;-)
