Live Long and Prosper!

I am a huge Star Trek fan. I'm a...uniform wearing to Comic-Con, comm badge tattooed on my chest "super-fan." Fortunately I married a gal that is just as fanatic as I am about Star Trek. I have watched an episode daily (when possible) since 1987. The whole premise inspired me all of my life. My mother told me Captain Kirk used to babysit me, as soon as the theme music came on I would come running, sit and watch in silence. But alas I am "Picard" man, "Next Generation...for life!" So when I started thinking about engraving my watches there was only one place to go for me. I understand that engraving ones watch is frowned upon, but these are my forever watches that will be passed down to my son. So I have two Rolexes currently their engraving are...

Explorer I (217214): "To boldly go..."
Submariner (114060): "...where no one has gone before."

I felt that the quotes not only fit the purpose of the watch, but can also serve as a life lesson. We all should "Boldly Go..."

I have room for one more watch as I have one more quote that must be inscribed "Live Long and Prosper" will go on a GMT. I know engravings can be deeply personal, but if you don't mind sharing. I'd like to see your engraving and maybe you can share the story behind it.
