Congrats. I love the story about the 143. I never knew that about lighthouses. Very interesting!

You BETTER wear that in good health my friend lol. Good for her. I always said my future wife would buy me a sub on our wedding day. Well...I'm 33 and single and bought it myself a week ago.

Cherish it.

That's a great story! Congrats. My 14060m was my first Rolex and will never be sold either. Fantastic model!
