Thanks James.

Don't know what's next. Maybe a PM Daytona, but that one will much later. For now, I will enjoy and cherish what I have.

Thanks, Brian.

For some strange reason, this one does feel especially satisfying. Almost on the same level when I got my Day-Date.

Thank you my friend.

I too have often thought that you and I have similar tastes. Related? Who knows?

Great piece! I think it should be worn with shorts and flip-flops though, that is the proper way to sport a gold Sub! :-)

Many congrats!

Thank you so much for your kind words and the very thoughtful thread you created for me that jump started this whole thing for me (and Dave). I am so glad I did not have to wait until the end of January. Rolex Geneva was able to squeeze this one in before the end of 2015!

I am not sure if my collection is on par yet with Neil and Tom's, but thank you for the compliment.

Best to you and your family too, Fred. Merry Christmas!

It was just a one night thing, I'm going back into my study hole during my "free time."

I'll be back as more of a regular as soon as the 7 is all wrapped up!

Well, thank you very much for that and best of luck to you in your studies. Working full time along with studying is a task in itself. Been down that road before, my friend. It is not fun.
