Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your story. I enjoyed reading it and was cool that the AD was doing strictly for the way the story moved them. I applaud them for asking to remain anonymous. Enjoy your watch in good health.

Great story Gary. This is the nice part about the ADs having discretion on who they want to sell a watch to. Most people walk in with their reasons for wanting a certain piece but your story here is moving. I am glad the SA took the time to listen and made it happen.

Thanks all
Fair one on looking up the CGC Cooper, it's not been awarded alot so relatively unknown even in the British military. |
