Good for you, and God bless. A car will last what? Eight, nine, ten years? Your grail is for life. What a wonderful story and tribute.

Fantastic decision! I started reading this and hoped it would end up with you pulling the trigger on that beautiful, understated WG Sub you’ve been thinking about.
 This is the very antithesis of the “I picked up two watches this week. What should I get next?” posts. A watch you really wanted and thought about long and hard, and will always mean a lot to you. I couldn’t be happier for you!

Sorry for your loss.
Great one! Congratulations on the beautiful watch and glad you will be able to have a gift from her you can always treasure. Glad to see it came in and you pulled the trigger on it.

A huge congrats Paul.
First when I saw the pics I thought it was Joe Biden who bought a new watch.  It looks so good on your wrist and it is a really cool model. Just enjoy it and I'm sure your thoughts go to your parents every time you watch it. Congrats my very best friend.
