The early years

What happened after that

By the way, for the benefit of the new members here who may suspect something but not have the proof in hand, yes, Rolex SA in Geneva know about JJ's dedication to the brand and have recognised it in an ad:

:) I've been well. SUPER busy with work, being Christmas time and all. Everyone wants Christmas pictures. I can't wait until January. Hopefully it will slow right down
How are you doing? How is the job going?
