So Today Was Kind of a Big Day...

Last week, I ordered my first watch from DavidSW, or anyone for that matter, since I got my TT DJ in 1985. Well, that's not exactly true. In August I put down a deposit on a SS Daytona with a white dial.

Then I got more interested in watches and started reading here...

Yada yada yada, as Elaine would say, and today I got a delivery.

I will admit that I couldn't be more excited. And I will utter the words that few here dare to say: I doubt I will ever grow tired of this baby.
