Awesome news.

Cancer is a smelly pirate hooker.

And a very fitting watch to commentate such a milestone.

Yes it's the watch of doctors, scientists and engineers etc.. these are the people who save lives everyday and I always liked the milgauss.

I haven't been a forum member very long and I don't know any of you. I have more knowledge than ever thanks to the time spent here and I'm learning more all the time. We all share a passion for Rolex and mechanical time pieces.
I'm overwhelmed by the very very kind words from everyone. Thank you.

Great news.

Living well is the best revenge against cancer. Enjoy the new watch and, most of all, your family and friends.

That's great 👍 And the Milgauss :-) , my father had battled for years and always complained of electric shocks and being very sensitive so the Milgauss Would have been a great excuse to buy him a watch looking back

Congrats!

Cancer sucks. Three now, personally known friends, plus an uncle have/had it. Plus a few acquaintances.

A new watch is always fun, but your 34mm Date is a true classic.

Congrats Steven, I don't know you but I am absolutely happy for you! My brother went trough similar experience while ago, same type of cancer. Now he is completely fine. I know it takes a lot to overcome it, most of all you have to be Fighter, it takes specific mind set not to give up and not to despair when it looks hopeless. It is part of the healing process. Enjoy the Milgaus.

all the best!
