Just maid it back. I think the time I had with my son was just as good if not better than getting the new watch.

That’s a trip he will tell his friends forever.

My crazy watch enthusiast Dad took me across the country during the pandemic for a watch.

Assuming you both remain healthy in the next couple weeks. A trip for the ages.

They should have moved you to First Class. Didn't you tell them you were wearing a Rolex?

So you got on a plane, went thru crowds at this time during the pandemic, took one of your children with you, risked both lives.......for a watch! WOW!
Sounds like this will be a memorable piece.

BillA this type comment is not needed. Especially on a place like TRF which provides a bit of reprieve for all of us during these extraordinary times.

Congrats OP on a great piece. I hope you enjoyed your trip and and more importantly stayed safe and healthy in the process.

Congrats Sir, I just got mine on Halloween! But...due to the human Malware only had a chance to wear it around the house once in a while, not out in the wild!

Enjoy it!
