Thank you! The romans really fit in perfectly in these new Day Dates, as the deconstructed look they introduced feels more modern (if that's possible with romans ) and just looks great overall, imo.

I did find the president bracelet somewhat short, as my wrist is only 6.7" and I only removed 2 links (the links are much smaller on this bracelet) to get a perfect fit. I wonder how many extra links guys with big wrists have to order.

I'm also an OSU alumn. It was a great school to attend with amazing resources. It was like being a kid in a toy shop as an older engineering student (27 y/o when graduating in Chem E after working my way through). Back then it was affordable at $1K tuition per year for a resident.

The story is that when in high school my dad had a gold colored watch with green face; this is as close as I've seen to it and would welcome it into my collection as my final watch. I'll sell the remainder of my initial collection to add it. That will take a bit of effort but it will be done. Would you mind PMing me with any details on your acquisition that might be illuminating; if that is an intrusion then don't worry about it, no problem. Congratulations again; it's a beauty!!!
