Thank you! and introducing...
Firstly, I would like to thank all those at TRF for their invaluable knowledge and help over the last few months.
Your kindness, patients and friendship are very much appreciated. A huge thank you to Kayaker21 (Paul) for making it happen, once the decision was made, and for being a consummate professional and pleasure to work with. After 20 years of flirtation, one near-disasterous rookie mistake, a brief consideration of something vintage, and 6 months of TRF obsession, I finally did it. Couldn't be happier as I've found perfection (in my eyes, of course). And now for the presentation.... |

Gawjuss! Looks like an LV with a black bezel. Did you get the green bezel as well?

Thank you everyone!
It's a pleasure to share the excitement with some familiar and some newer members. It is indeed a Sub LV (V serial) with a black insert. I do have original green, but loved the black right from the start. Thanks for such nice comments and well wishes. Cheers, Brant |
