Welcome to the club

Congrats on an amazing piece! Owning one watch only is liberating and in my case atleast, I enjoy it more, no wondering on others or what you left at home. Just one to do it all!

Enjoy it!!

Well, I'm not down to one watch by any means. I still need some sort of spreadsheet to track all the lesser watches I have. Most are Invictas I started out with when I started collecting. For that matter I still have three Rolex watches. These are the Daytona 50th Anniversary, the SD4K 116600, and my 16570 black which is currently being serviced. It does however mean that my bed side table will be rearranged and large eight watch winder removed as it no longer will be used making room and further simplifying my life.

Thank you all for the well wishes on the incoming. Now if I can only keep my commitment. I'm really amazed to have such a beauty on my wrist. I appreciate everyone's tolerance as I went through the whole collection reduction and purchase decision.

Christmas but not wrapped quite yet. It's a pretty basic DJ (about $7K's worth of DJ).
