Wow, I love reading these letters ... where on Earth do you find them? Let me guess ... somewhere ... on Earth? A secret somewhere? Regardless, they are such a window into history and a real testament to the watches we wear and value today. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks for posting these up Steve.
I would suggest compiling all of them together and making a sticky (maybe in the resources section).

Quite a pair of testimonials, thanks for posting them. Yes, making them a sticky is a great idea isn't it? I really wish they were printed again!
