You all are the greatest!
It not only warms my heart to read such kind words from folks I've actually come to know and care about here, but to also share this interest (and for some, arguably, "obsession" ).
As I've shared elsewhere, there's been a bit of pain in the process, because the core research for this was actually wrapped last May, which is what was required before the proposal, writing, and review process could even begin w/ WatchTime. Been meaning to get "down" here to the Open Discussion Forum for you-don't-know-how-long. But, as some of you may have seen, Tools started a mega-Thread on James Bond watches, including an interest Poll. Sorta trying to figure out "how much 007 is appropriate here," and, I'd also suggest, how broadly that discussion might go (eg, just Rolex? or everything?). Please weigh in! (Some of the Poll options are humorous.) LINK Let me know if anyone here starts a dedicated Thread to discussing the article itself (I guess w/ the caveat that it be avoided for those who haven't seen the February WatchTime yet). Other than this one, that is. I may have to set some limits on how far I can discuss it for a while. But I'm always open to the expertise and throughtful eyes on things that come from the regulars here on WTF. Thanks again for the compliments and friendship.
