Thank you so much for all the congratulations. It’s quite heartwarming to read. I’m at the stage where I cannot bring myself to tear my eyes from the beauty of the watch. It’s also worth noting that the PCL’s really take this up a notch in terms of how sleek and polished it wears compared to the earlier series where the links were brushed. That PCL-fluted WG bezel-rhodium combo is a sure fire winner.

I also appreciate the kind compliments on the writing. Truthfully I was incredibly nervous that my write up would be excessively long or poorly received. I’ve done a little bit of writing here and there and so it’s very nice to hear that my story was received well. Every watch does have its own story- I look forward to hearing more of your stories as well.

The watch looks great on you. Thanks for sharing your story.

Not to take away from it at all, but the magnification on your cyclops looks weak, but it is being blocked by the minute hand in the picture, so it might be fine. I had the "low mag" issue with my sub and had to bring it in for service to replace. Just letting you know in case you got one of those too!
