Happy at last !

Awhile ago I started looking for another piece to give my 16610lv some relief from daily wear due to the fact that I never take my watch off. I purchased a newer Tudor and it didn't do it. I then flipped it and purchased another Tudor, big block this time.
I loved the Big Block, but it was so perfect I was literally scared to wear it. I'm not a guy of vast means but there was no way to keep it and get something else that fit my taste as well as budget. I poured over the seller threads, sent some PM's and low and behold found a seller that not only was very interested in my trade but also was willing to look and find me something that fit the bill. Well after a couple of days I can tell you I have indeed found what I've wanted for so long. Something that looks great, wears great and can take day to day wear and tag out my LV from time to time. Older A serial but I'm in love. Thanks Evan!
