I owe this friend BIG TIME, and the jeweler also. He was phenomenal, and a really cool guy. He definitely just made a client for life!
That's a relationship worth cultivating!

Thanks everyone, appreciate all the congratulations!

Also an additional note, I did have the option between black or white dial, both happened to come in the same shipment. I’m super happy I went with the black, it happens to look better on me (IMO), especially since I’m usually wearing mostly black. Since I’ll never sell it, the higher value of the white didn’t influence my decision (even though some close friends disagreed).

You tilt your wrist and look at the dial. This complaint is stupid

This is great. Congratulations! You buy what you want, and just wear and enjoy it. What could be better?
