So happy with your positive responses. Thanks! Next one I buy will be on TRF!
I just happened to stop at a jewelry store, and ta da...they had only one, and it was this one. I wonder what I could get for it if I trade it in for another model.

Congrats. Looks terrific.

As to thinking you spent too much money, I can relate to that. Then I realized what's the point of having money if you can't spend it on the things you like?

Time is ticking by way too fast these days. I am more aware of what precious little time we have here on earth. My Rolex collection now begins...and will be passed down, in time, to my relatives.
