45th Birthday Incoming!!!! First ceramic.

Was sitting at the coffee shop this morning having a nice breakfast and Cortado with my lovely wife. She casually suggested walking down to our local AD to pick up the Air-King. “Wouldn’t it be cool to have the warranty card dated on your birthday?”

I sometimes just go in to look, but today I knew I was walking in to buy. I liked the Air-King, but didn’t love it. Quickly narrowed it to the Z Blue Milgauss, Submariner with date and the GMT Master II. As stunning as the Milgauss was, I’ve really been feeling the pull of ceramic and polished center links.

Could not be happier. This one is never leaving the collection!

Happy Birthday! Love my GMTIIC. Happens to be a “birth year” watch for my son - though I didn’t plan it precisely that way.

What a wife! She’s more rare than a ceramic Daytona!

Congratulations! That’s one of my favorites.

I’m a bit surprised they had all those in stock. A good day indeed.
