Check it off the bucket list

Gents,
I did it yesterday. The years and years of savings was traded in form my dream watch. I didn't think I was going to make it to the AD before they closed due to a meeting that went 4 hours late. I had a friend drive an hour just to stall the store. He got them to stay open ten minutes late and that's all I needed. NIB SUB ND 14060M. Can't explain how excited I am. I created another post earlier this week "can I wear it", many of you replied. Thanks. One look at it on my wrist.......Damn right Im wearing it! Thanks again guys. Pics to follow if I can figure that out.
