Congratulations!

Although I had never really considered TT, it is now growing on me. Last week I saw a guy on the beach with this exact same watch and it looked really good.

Enjoy your new acquisition.

I'm typically not a fan of two-tone watches, but this one looks very nice. I like the dial...Congrats.
