Congratulations on such a successful acquisition! Nice to read that your mission to Ceuta worked out well.

I share your admiration for no-date watches. While my own Rolex has the date function, I don't miss it on my Omega Speedie Pro.

It is almost as if I wanted that my relation with the watch that I am wearing would be a secret because wearing a Rolex gives me so much satisfaction on so many different levels.
Well said!

One should buy a fine wristwatch for the personal and private satisfaction of ownership, rather than the (vain) hope of impressing others.

Exactly!
