Well my friend, since I first 'met' you here several posts ago (quite a thousand in your case) I have seen you flip back and forth with different watches; go through good and not-so-good times and change the size and style of your collection.

I (as well as other members here) thought you would go head over heels over the DJII and never ever get rid of LV; we were wrong. You also got Expy back (your watch review on your previous Explorer has the most replies of ANY other review and has been a key factor in purchases from other members) and acquired a ceramic GMTII; in the end, at least for today, you are back to 4 rollies, which vary from SS to 2T; all of them sports models and no DDII nor DJII .

IMHO you posses at this time a fantastic array of timepieces, some of us will say you are missing a Daytona, some will not; but to me you own the finest examples of Rolex products in the sports line.

I just wanted to take some time to congratulate you, as well as to thank you for allowing all of us to laugh, dream and cry with you.

Felicidades, mi amigo; I know this is just part of the journey and I am anxious to see what comes up next.

Kindest regards.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww..........I am truly touched, Gerardo. Your words have really moved me and I can feel the tears welling up in my eyes with a lump building up in my throat.

Thank you so much, my friend, thank you so very much........truly appreciated.

However, I shall have to lie low for quite a long while now as I've just purchsed 2 brand new Rolex watches, both from DAVIDSW, in less than 2 months.

But, thanks all the same.......wonderful gesture on your part!!

Cheers - JJ

Wow....Jocke you put into pictures what JJ so incredibly reasons into text. I've only been here a short while but, with the aid of your's, JJ's and others posts, I am re-evaluating my priorities for my next purchase and I'm realizing the value of TRF. Those Yacht-Masters are beautiful!

Thanks!

Good luck - JJ
