My Grail 6542 GMT Red has Arrived
I just came from my dealer's store, who arrived last night from Hong Kong with my 1956 Rolex 6542 GMT with red writing. All i can say was FANTASTIC after unwrapping and seeing the watch for the first time. Definitely, the best birthday and Christmas gift to myself in a long long while. Another super great addition to my watch collection!

Not sure if "congrats" is the right word, but I'm happy for you for being able to score such a great piece.
