Cancer can be beaten ... I hope you stay positive and beat this ugly disease.

Congratulations on your grail, I hope when you look at it you are reminded about how lucky you are to have a fighting chance.

A story like this really puts the love of watch collecting in perspective. This new acquisition will be a reminder of the hard fight you went through as you sit on the beach with your wife 5 or more years from now and reflect back on your journey. Best of luck to you!
