I said to my AD, ya know, I have had the kermit on my wish list for about 6 months but if one by chance came in before the end of October, I would really love to purchase it to give it to my dad for his birthday. He seemed fairly taken back by the fact that I said I would give away a watch I have been asking about for months, paused, and said well, would you like to ring it up?

I thought he was kidding but low and behold, I walked in looking for an appraisal and left with a 126610V!

Now comes the decision of being a good son or keeping a watch I have wanted for a long time!

give it away it will be great!
