Good job, gorgeous. My favorite combination RG/Choc. Maybe the rest of us TRF'ers need to visit Egypt too.

Pardon my ignorance, but I just don't quite grasp how this piece relates to Egypt. Anyways, congrats again on your most recent acquisition, and I truly hope this isn't your last incoming thread on TRF as they're always a pleasure to behold.
Thank you Nick!

Thank Shannon aka Anna! I think you will enjoy the craftsmanship of this specific combination, however, as we briefly discussed at 41mm it may be a tad big for you, however, don't fret, check it out and there should be other viable options out there with the President bracelet!

Thanks for the wonderful pictures and super congrats.

Great photos, makes me want to book a flight to Egypt!

Thank you for your words! You and my cat share the same sentiments, however, I will remove the stickers off my 114060, 326935, and 218235 in due time!

This is the only way I know how to close out this thread and my final unveil on TRF... It has been fun sharing a few of my horology references with you here, I know some have been inspired, some have disliked my long teaser threads, however, all in all just remember to always feel inspired! Be well everyone!







Thank You again everyone!
