Incoming!!!!

First and foremost I want to give a heartfelt thank you to Tom for offering such a generous prize on his thread! Second I want to thank TRF for being such a great place to research, learn, and congregate around like minded folks in horology. As a diehard Giants fan I am still ecstatic that they were able to bring the Vince Lombardi trophy back to NY and this prize is just the icing on the cake for me. Eli Manning aka The TRF Bulova was also properly set Thank you 1,000,000 times Tom. Now for the customary unveiling!

Wonderful! Congratulations to you Sam and wear that baby in great health!

Way to go Tom, if you want to treat your friends right you just have to offer them quartz watches!

Good looking watch! A win/win. NY beat NE and a gift! Enjoy.

Now we look forward to Yankees beating the Red Sox.

It's okay Tom! Everybody is happy that Sam got it and especially that he could make his incoming fit in a single post!
