Knowledge is a burden very few can handle! It is a choice none but you can make and once made, there is no return.

The old adage is true... Good things come to those who wait! ;-) I believe collectors world wide have been waiting for a complicated Rolex reference for let's think... 40+ years? Longer than I have been alive Patek and Vacheron can't have all the fun... 2012 couldn't have come soon enough!





Things will get complicated very soon...

Lol that is something I need to work on, my patience.
Fantastic piece though! Saw the Dark Knight Rises in theaters twice and got the BlueRay on Tuesday. I think Bane is probably my favorite nemesis for Batman. Not sure who I would pick to go up against lol.

Oh Bendy I never thought of you as a chocoholic but I have to say it really looks great on you. This darker dial fits right in with the rest of your collection. Very warm and sublime, yet a touch sporty and the bezel brings that Bendy edge! Nicely done and congrats!!!!!
