Story would make quite a sentimental commercial. Good story.

Imagine 50 yrs from now someone leaning over and saying "is that a hulk? I spent endless hours on an internet forum chatting about availability and vip lists and it being discontinued. I bought one to store away in the safe to match my daughter's birth year. It's never seen saltwater and Ive no real memories with it on."

Nice story behind the watch

Love it. I think my eyes would pop out of my head if some random stranger queried my watch and mentioned the reference number of their 4 digit equivalent. So cool.

All that I know and love is on my sons wrist and that’s good enough for me. I really felt that.

thats an awesome story...
