Thank you Springer (jP)

As some of you may know I was lucky enough to have my number drawn recently and receive quite a nice sum of cash which was sponsored by Springer.

I had a nice chat with jP last night and he suggested I use it for a down payment on a nice vintage. I think that is a great idea, now I just need to identify which reference.

I appreciate the opportunity to take part in these kind of events and support the forum. I cant wait for the next one!

Springer is a generous member and the forum is lucky to have him. Once again thank you jP much appreciated!!!

Congrats Eliot! Well done Springer too! Thanks to Steve and the Mods for making TRF the community that it is.

My 2 cents worth - looks like you're into dive watches. How about a 5513 Maxi Dial or a 16660 (which combines the character of vintage with the modern mod cons of quick set date and sapphire crystal).
