John, you are partially correct there were acquisitions that made my collection that I have displayed on TRF. Dr. JBA if there is one thing I learned from my mentor it's how to build a story (I'm a Hayes alumni so you can figure out who I'm talking about ). Ken, I knew when folks here started bashing this piece it was time to pick it up Pictures to start trickling out now for the finale...

Congratulations!! Beautiful. I have yet to see one in the flesh. Guess Bruce Banner references would have been too obvious.

Excellent choice! Wear it in good health.

I love mine, the more you wear it, the more the dial grows on you.

Beautiful is not even the word! I hope you get to handle one sooner than later. Pictures you see here do not tell the full story.

Sam, you b@stard! I'm a die hard Philadelphia fan, born and raised. My parents still live in Cherry Hill.

BTW, sweet pics and wicked seats. Glad to see them pics FINALLY coming in. Looks great on your wrist!

It's ok, though, I'm just gonna picture you wearing LV green to support my EAGLES!
