Be it man or beast, rich famous or poor, the skies had the answer.

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

We could all be wrong. After all...

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!!!!!
