Enjoy it, my friend!
Yeah man. I’ve always loved the brand and the watches.

Now??? I’m a diehard loyal fan. Always was. But it’s a new level. So grateful to have been here for this.

Very nice told you to get the checkbook out earlier.

Well, I would not have done it. But you told me to do it, so I figured I might as well. Lol.

Truth is, I’ve already paid my dues. Wasn’t required at all to buy anything. But I was happy to. That watch ticks all my boxes.

The waiting will be tough.

Well that’s what I’m here for, pro bono this time.

No, it’s a great piece how long do you think they will actually make a omega client of your caliber wait?
