I'm 33. I actually hadn't bowled since I was 12. I was bowling really well. However, if this isn't fate/luck...I don't know what is.

It was:

- The last game
- I was the last bowler
- Last roll, picked up the spare
- Started to walk away. They said "Oh you go again" (wasn't clear on the rules)
- Absolutely positively the VERY LAST roll...pop
- Bicep rolled up into my shoulder

That game I bowled around a 160.

It's sufficient to say that I'm retired from bowling!

I did have fun up until that point though.

What? Ruptured bicep tendon....bowling?

I recovered, toughed it out. Business recovered as well.

Ever since I was a younger man in my 20's I wanted a Rolex Submariner. I was very specific with my desires. I wanted a no date, two line, 14060. I know it's humble but it's what I wanted. I'm a very laid back and subtle guy and I felt this watch would be best for me.

Well today Ian, royaloak36, made it happen for me. Thanks again for your professionalism and helping me acquire something I've wanted for a very long time. Cheers. P serial, very nice condition.

EDIT: Sorry for the pic size initially, gentlemen.

Yes sir! Quite a gnarly injury. Recovery wasn't too terrible though.
