Long Time Coming, Finally, my first..

Thanks to the folks who gave me advice.

After all options, I am happy to say I got my DJII today from my local AD. I have been in the store for 5 years daydreaming. I clearly recall 5 years ago today considering the watch on my 40th birthday. Well, today is my 45th, and today is the day. I am overjoyed.

As I get older, I sure understand, there is certainly "nothing more precious than time"..... So, I shall rely on a Rolex.

Thanks folks. Very happy to join the club.
Classy people on here, and I welcome the advice and information.

Onward !
