Take your time reading his story, there’s a lot to absorb. It’s a great story that will have you on an emotional roller coaster.

Thank you Steve for sharing such an inspiring and adventurous life! I remember reading how much you were hoping for a modern steel GMT-2 Pepsi. Did you pick up one yet? It certainly appears dressy on the jubilee, but I think it retains an elegant toughness. I am looking forward to reading your book in the near future. Hope all is well. Cheers.

Tough story to read, very emotional.
I cannot imagine the mental strength needed to just keep on going like you. I'm sure Kathryn would be very proud! |

Your thread and story reminds me of my best friend and national hero Maxime Chaya who’ve been to the 7 summits. “Submitted Everest twice” 2 poles skiing, rowed the Indian Ocean and bicycle crossed the “ The Rub' al Khali ” Empty quarter desert in Saudi Arabia.
One of his books is called STEEP DREAMS. Can’t wait to have your book Steve

I've not been reading the forum for a while so lovely to see this brilliant thread back - and learn rather belatedly that you have written a book which, based on the excerpts on Amazon, is clearly a very moving "must read". If I can find in a regular book store when I am back in the UK it will be purchased then - and if not, then on Amazon. All the best Steve - hope you are doing well now and that the writing was cathartic.

Like so many others, I came across this thread recently and moved through 5 years of your life in a matter of hours. It's been quite the trip, vicariously experiencing some of your highs and lows, all told via the connection we have with these legendary timepieces... I was so glad to learn you wrote a book, and I have just ordered it. It will arrive in time for my trip to Boston next week, and it will be my travel companion. I hope to see a few watch photos among the great storytelling! All levity aside, thank you for sharing your Rolex journey in this thread. Yours is a singular experience, and our lives have been enriched by reading about yours. Often, the online connection between people is insular, but your story was told so humbly, so honestly, that your genuine nature shown through. We don't know each other, but I do feel a connection to you via your story, and I thank you for that. This thread has, in many ways, restored my faith in our ability to forge friendships with genuinely good people online. With all the nastiness in the world, and especially on the internet, this is an unexpected and wonderful achievement. Bravo, sir. Bill

Could not agree more.
Could not agree with you more. Such a shame there are also negative comments made by those who can't get beyond the first page or two...
