This is what Dreams are made of! 1655 - Homecoming!!!
Because of John (Beaumont Miller II) I now know how Jordan felt when he won his first NBA Championship!

Because of Ken's (steelerfan65) tutelage I now know how Rocky felt when all of his hard work and patience paid of!

Thank you all, I will skip pictures of the box and give you the proper wrist pics. This has been a long time coming and I am extremely pleased to have finally picked up the only Rolex reference that has mattered to me! Presenting my factory original T<25 1655
Many more pics to follow!
