Congratulations to you! So often we hear of complaints where people don't get what they want. It's refreshing to hear your story where you went out and made your life on your own. You've got a lot to be thankful for. And you're rewarding yourself with a nice new watch. Way to go!

The burning the boats part is what gets me..., it's courage right there.

Congratulations!

Look at that - two Daytona’s in the case...granted they’re not ceramic but still

And while I appreciate the day date, I’ve still got to put 4 kids through college

Just gotta say, the pictures absolutely do not do this piece justice. WOW!!!

I liked the pictures I had seen, but in the metal, this is next level.

Kudos Rolex - you nailed this one, and I’m honored to be an owner!
