Padi, I didn’t know.... sending you my best wishes.... I guess you can see that the gratitude and love here is palpable. Hope all these wonderful messages lift your spirits... also love your stories, you knowledge and even your rants! Stay well, and stay safe please.

Peter, hope you feel much better soon and everyday you wake up with a smile. You have always focused on the watches and the brand. Not their value. Look forward to seeing more of your posts. Get well soon.
