Agree with the above we each have the one that we have to have or sold and want back. Beautiful watch no matter where it is in your collection status.

Congratulations Paul! I am moved to tears reading your post, I know how much you like to have this watch.
Hats off to the Mrs, and heads up if I can buy her a drink :)

Enjoy your amazing celebration, all to good health and here's to another 50 and many more.
