Fantastic post! I'm sure that if that watch could tell stories there would be many.

I truly hope you have many, many more years to enjoy wearing it.

Chaps

The next time you think about writing in asking if your Rolex can be washed or worn when cutting the lawn etc, just remember this thread.

Don and his Rolex have lived a full life together and both seem to be thriving.

Regards

Mick

PS Congratulations Don, you are the sort of Rolex wearer I admire.
