I know exactly how you feel. I had to do some consolidating to get mine but don't regret it one bit. I feel it could be my one and only if need be but don't believe that will ever happen. Big congrats

Wow...incredible pick.

You are long overdue in providing that group shot with what must arguably be the greatest collection of vintage Rolex acquired in the last couple of years!!!
