You’re an original (so to speak) and I always look forward to your posts and hearing your thoughtful insights here on the forum.

Congratulations on the new MB&F, it looks like it was made for you my friend

Brian, my friend, can't thank you enough for all the comradery over the years. Sharing the forum with guys like you is what makes this place so special. Here's to many more!

Enjoy that horological beauty.

Mr. Dan Pierce, bass magician and Tudor ambassador on TRF! Thank you so much for the kind words and exchanges over the years, my friend! It's been an absolute pleasure to share the forum with you.

Fantastic choice and well timed.

A most humble thanks.

Btw, your reply had me immediately thinking about the below lyrics:

"So much style without substance
So much stuff without style
It's hard to recognize the real thing
It comes along once in a while

Like a rare and precious metal beneath a ton of rock
It takes some time and trouble to separate from the stock
You sometimes have to listen to a lot of useless talk

Shapes and forms, against the norm
Against the run-of-the-mill
Swimming against the stream
Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme...

Against the run-of-the-mill
Static as it seems
We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams

Curves and lines
Of grand designs"
--- Neal Peart

Love it. Hits the *neil* on the head of what we're talking about.

My advice is to run like hell.

This hobby is as crazy as crazy gets and TRF is a veritable den of enablers.

I know you won't listen, but don't say you weren't warned.

Well, if he took the time to register and post here, I'd say he's already gone.

Congrats on the 10,000 posts and the spectacular watch!

Wholehearted congratulations my friend, what a culmination of twelve years of collecting. I‘m coming onto my tenth anniversary here, so we’ll see where that leads :) all I can say is that I have something big on order as well in the same color scheme as yours, albeit with a darker blue. In the meantime, thank you very much for being such a great contributor to the community here, always great to follow your posts and exchange views. And thank you for those stunning pictures, a truly gorgeous acquisition.

Here is a caliber picture, for good measure
