INCOMING: A Crown For Every Achievement

So 2015 and 2016 have been great years in some respects and tough years in others for me. Today is my 35th birthday and last month I was promoted to General Manager of our group's busy Mercedes-Benz store. I couldn't think of a better time to mark a life milestone and after much thought and contemplation I decided it was time to go green. Many thanks to everyone on TRF for all their contributions over the years in helping encourage and build this collection. Cheers to you all. Watch out for review and more photos in the future.

Congrats on the promotion
The Submariner is a beast of a watch, virtually indestructible and the epitome of reliability and precision.

And don't forget that amazing dial/bezel combo that has infinite expressions of colour and shadings.

The engineering excellence in the watch is undeniable. Looking forward to seeing the bezel / dial expressions with lots of wrist time.
