I don't know why, I am a grown men I shouldn't be nervous.

Heck I know why, that's why I am nervous.

I find out tommorrow about a particular vintage watch and whether it will be mine.

Fingers, toes, arms, and legs are all crossed.

Wish me luck.

No hints yet Mike, as isn't for certain yet. But it is very special to me, but if it don't work out I am sure something will.

Good Luck Sir.

I used to hate that feeling. However, as of late I have started to embrace and enjoy it. It is a great feeling.

Thank you.

Ken, thank you so much.

By the way guys Ken sent me a PM a couple of months ago and offered to asist me when the time came to select a vintage watch. Well I let him know I think it was Saturday or Sunday that I was ready.

Anyway, he pointed me in the direction of one fabulous Red Sub in Excellent condition with punched papers and everything.

I can't wait to take the existing bracelet off and put that BAD BOY on a NATO STRAP and finally join the vintage owners club and NATO NATION!!!

The seller is leaving to go to a watch show today, however I should have it in hand by the end of next week.

Not sure if Ken would want to mention the sellers name so I will let him divulge this.

But Ken I can't thank you enough.

AWESOME PEOPLE ON ONE AWESOME FORUM!!!!

Thank you,

Dan
