Bloody hell, what a way to do it! You should drop the mic now and walk away forever.

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!!!
Lee, that's a fantastic story and a great way to remember your father! We've already exchanged PM's on this, so let me just say again that I wish you the best of luck in the hunt!

Ha! Thanks a lot for the kind words, my friend. I'm afraid if I dropped the mic and walked away I would just miss TRF too much

That is one aspect of the watch which sometimes puts people off, as it has neither the glidelock nor the easylink systems. In my case, I got lucky, as the removal of a couple of links gave me a perfect fit.

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.



Thank you, Shawn!



Hey, Neil! Thank you very much, my friend! Your rose gold pictures went a long way in the enabling process for this one.



Thank you, John!



Thank you very much!



Thank you, Steve! From your user name, I assume you are a OSU alumnus? I was in Columbus last week, for a series of meetings with the OSU Alumni staff. Beautiful city and amazing university!



Thanks, Rommel!



Thank you for the kind words, my friend, and great to see you here!



Thank you!!



Thanks a lot, Nick!



Thank you, my brother.



Thanks, Rex!







Thank you, gentlemen!



Thanks a lot, Trace!



Thank you very much, Adam!



Thanks much, Brandon! Kane is a great name. Mine, Kauê, is actually a native Brazilian name, from one of the largest indigenous people who lived in what is now Brazil.



Thank you very much, Lee! I hope yours gets home soon!



Thank you, sir!



Thanks a lot, Angelo!



Thank you, George!



Hey, Cru! Thank you, buddy!



Thanks, Peter!



Thanks much!



Thanks for the kind words, Steve!



Merci!



Thank you, sir!


Yes and I’m jealous! We left Columbus for work but miss it terribly. It’s really growing and becoming a great place for startups. I hope you enjoyed your stay!
