Congrats on the 3 purchases.

Around these parts, we tend not to refer to them as "Rollys"

Sorry for the faux pas. I actually picked that term up on this board, but did not realize it was an unfavorable one. Remember, I am but a Rolex neophyte.

I will post pictures as soon as I figure out how to create an album. The FAQ states that there should be a "pictures and albums link" in my user control panel, which I can use to create an album, but it is not there. As soon as I figure out what I am doing wrong I will post the pictures. Cheers!

Congratulations on your Hulk and nice you thought of your wife so she can enjoy the moment too. I did something similar years ago as I knew my wife wouldn't buy one for herself. May you both wear them in good health. Cheers!
