Incoming: My favourite Rolex&My Grail Watch—Thanks DavidSW!!!

First I want to say:
Thank You all for creating this unique forum! Your experiences&wisdom helped me in finding my grail watch.
First I was ”Rolex only” -guy. With the help of this forum I got to know all the other brands aswell and finally.... Patek Philippe.
Today I got my first Patek, my grail watch. After personally experiencing every Rolex model, this Patek truly stole my heart:
Patek Philippe 5396G-014, discontinued Annual calendar 20th Ann. Dial.
Special thanks to DavidSW who helped me to get this piece. We often tend to forget how important these David-kind-of amazing enterpreneurs are. I’ve changed my collection so many times that I’ve lost the track. Without DavidSW I would be lost.
Now to the point: Incoming!!!!
My grail watch Patek and my favourite Rolex:
Rolex GMT Master II, 126710BLNR. My toolwatch, the most comfortable steel bracelet that I’ve had. Less is more. The Final Third watch I am about to have in a few weeks....

That is some consolidation you have done, from 24 down to 3. Look forward to see the third one!

I’ve been staring this beauty the whole evening...

Hopefully my BLNT won’t be jealous...

Congrats! I have both the LN and the BLNR. I find the Jubilee bracelet to be far more supple and comfortable.
