Gift from my best friend

As the saying goes... Blood is thicker than...

Hope you both keep the bond tight forever.

Now, rather than giving you the fish, maybe he can teach you how to fish and maybe with that, help you not worry so much about $

I tried to do that w my sibling.

Congrats on both fronts!

Nice story.

I hope my little brother reads this - he has more watches than I have.

Right Rick?

Nice gesture. I hope you cherish your big brother as much as I cherish my little brother. Nothing in the world like family.

That Explorer is going to work out nicely.

I've been thinking about sizing down to a 36 mm. I just have to find a way to get Mike's brother to like me. I mean, really, really like me.
