Thanks Sameer. I figured, if you can do it, then just do it! The timing is right as the Canadian MSRP increase is due for March 16th, from what I have been told.

Well done Eric you will love slipping the gold DD on, looking at your signature you are just about out of Rolex to buy, if you plan to leave one to each child one day you are going to need to have a lot more kids!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Craig. After this one, I will be done. I know everyone has heard this before and many have said this before, but for me, the 118238 represents an end to a journey that began over 10 years ago.

In terms of kids, I am done. Two is the majoc number for us. I plan to pass on my 116610 LV to my Son and my 114060 to my Nephew when they reach an appropriate age to be able to appreciate watches. My Wife has my daughter covered, unless my daughter takes a liking to my other pieces.

It will be hard for me to sleep tonight. The anticipation is killing me, James. It is a shame that I have a function tonight that I can't get out of, or else I would already be on my way to the AD.

Hugh congrats on obtaining the Grail. That is a beautiful piece and like you said the quintessential Rolex. Can't wait to see the pictures. Did you get it from Montecristo?
