Congratulations Sergio! This will be a day to remember! Personally I'd go watchless and let time stand still for this moment

Congratulations!!!

If you don't have a "favorite", then Speedy for sure.

I love watches, but I couldn't tell you what watch I wore a few years back at my French citizenship ceremony... it was the last thing on my mind.

This is weird?

I posted a legit current watch with a pic that I thought was appropriate for this occasion and it seems to be gone?

I looked for a list of watches that aren't allowed to post on TRF but I can't find it.

On Becoming an American

I didn't vote for any particular watch but wanted to say congratulations!



My wife went through the process 9 years ago. It was an incredible experience to watch dozens of people taking that oath of allegiance and the emotions that followed.

Thank you all for the kind replies and votes. At 7 am the Sub was up by a nose.
Very emotional and moving ceremony with people from 35 different nations. I would like to claim that I remained composed throughout but my lovely wife has a couple of pictures with me wiping away some sort of watery discharge coming out from my eyes.
I will always be proud of my Spanish/Celtic heritage but beginning today I am first and foremost an American.
Again, thank all you so much for the kind comments.

It doesn't, my grammar was affected by Mary Jane.
