Special Incoming......BLRO.
In more ways than one, this is a very special incoming for me. Without going into all of the personal details, my wife and I have overcome a lot. Many hardships and sacrifices financially and emotionally all with hopes of benefitting our family and future. We are in a good place. Three beautiful kids, careers we are both happy with and a genuine feeling of what "blessed" really means.
I've thought about adding the BLRO since it's introduction and had more trips to the AD than I can count. Recently my wife came to me as I was flipping through different pics of it and simply said "I want you to get it". I was pretty mind blown because she's never approached me like that. She simply said that she wants me to have it and I deserve it. For me, this is a token of perseverance and overcoming. Oh, and happy 40th birthday to me! I can say without a doubt, this watch is amazing! Perfect!! I'm not usually one for long posts but wanted to share a little with my watch fam. The obligatory wrist shot from yesterday..
