A toast!

Well Jon, I think a toast is in order on your birthday.

Gentlemen, please raise your glasses with me to wish Jon health, wealth and happiness.

Cheers Jon

And congratulations on being given such a beautiful and generous gift. You are a lucky man to have such kind and giving people around you. Wear it in good health.

Glad to hear your good health report and that's a wonderful gift- and watch! You're probably going to enjoy it all the more because of how it came to you.

One of the special things about a fine timepiece is how they have traditionally been used as gifts of esteem and love and appreciation. A watch is very personal, and something we can have with us all the time. Every time you look at that one you will recall your family and the happy day you received it.

Wear it in good health!

Thanks all so much, I have read every post and again am overwhelmed by the good wishes, went with all the family to a restaurant called ChinaChina, had a great meal, and the Sub gleamed in the spotlights
