I'm Back, and Incoming!!!

I posted a thread a few weeks back how I finally traded my Daytona for a RO. I had the watch shipped to Santa Fe, where I was getting married, so I didn't have it when I made the thread.

I then didn't want to take it on my honeymoon because I didn't want to deal with sand and sunscreen on it. So I FINALLY will have it on my wrist for more than 4 days, and had the opportunity to take some pics after being gone for the past 2 weeks.

Big thanks to all of you enablers on here!

The wrist shot, I love how this wraps around my wrist perfectly!

I could stare at it for hours - and that's before I even take a look at that sweet backside.

I also told my wife I wanted a brand new watch for the wedding and get one I would never flipped.

She liked the idea, and while I was still deciding whether to flip or not, she said: "if you decide you want to flip it at some point, even for one I don't like, I won't be mad."

I found a keeper!
