Thanks so much everyone. I may sleep with it tonight ;). It’s been a dream for a long time, and there is no time like the present. I’m really getting these pieces for my daughter - I just get to enjoy them while I’m alive! She can figure the rest out later.

Congrats! And if you bought it from the AD, I hope they offered you a hot SS piece?

I did purchase from my AD, and we hopefully have an understanding. At the moment, I need to rebuild my war-chest ;)

Waiting to get clearance from the comptroller to get one. AD had a dd 40 with the diagonal silver dial in on order and he let me look at it.

I was drooling like a man full of novacain. Unfortunately head office feels my DJ in her words “checks a lot of the boxes”.

Probably going to be a while. I’ve learned in my middle age that keeping the wife happy is more important than a classic, awesome hunk of beautiful solid yellow gold around your wrist.
