Well folks, I have to say that NEVER in a million years did I expected this ...

First off, thanks to Steve the sponsors and our forum moderators who make this THE most fantastic WIS hang out in the world

Secondly, congratulations to the other winners and to everyone who was able to get into the contest. I believe this one sold out in record time, so just getting in was an achievement

Ok ... on to the unveiling but first... When the random numbers were announced, I smiled when I saw I had be assigned my lucky #3. You see 3 has always been a special number to me. Born on the 30th, met my wife in the 13th, my daughter born on the 3rd, the three dearest people in my life: my wife, my daughter, my son. My soccer jersey number, even the draw being held on the 23rd ... and one of my best friends birthdays ... well you get the idea ...

The day of, I was having an early morning workout and thought I'd check in to see who the lucky winner was. When I started scrolling through the thread I saw a funny looking number scrolled on a poker ship ... I stood there staring at it for a minute (Mon can verify that lol) and it finally sunk in ... thay nunber drawn was lucky 3 ... I almost hit the floor!!! I woke my wife (more like kind of scared the *@#% out of her) just to have her verify what I thought I was seeing

commotion ensued: laughter, screams, expletives, you name it

I'm SO thrilled to have this reference and I'm honored to have come by it through TRF and the lucky draw! I'll never ever forget this and I'm so thankful to be part of such a great group of people.

Anyway I fear I'm starting to ramble so, without further adieu... here she is the JB 114060.

She's a beauty

A special thank you to the sponsors: DAVIDSW (David), OCROLEXGUY (Patrick), JUSTROLEXES (Tony), TAKUYA (Thanh Do), SohAIS (Aamir), , and BODYBUMP (Oscar)
