What a difference 23 years can make......

First pic from 1986 while on my honeymoon in FLA complete w/ a cheap Rolex homage. Fast forward 23 years and the hair is turning gray but this time the Rolex is real.

Thanks for the kind words.

Allan, I agree. Much rather have age and experience than youth and ignorance. Living well is the best revenge.

Great photos, Dan! You look fantastic in both photos! Nothing like the 'real' thing, is there?!

It's interesting how it appears your tastes have changed.....from wearing YG rings and a watch to now stainless steel!

Dan,

Both pictures look great, but how can you do justice to Miami Vice without a white leisure suit?
