Incoming: Like A Unicorn... Will Call Her Rachael


Don't name my toys.
Never named one of my road course track rats.
Have never named my street cars (other than 'POS' after the word Bentley)
Never have named my timepieces, until now....

Given the current world events (Coronoavirus), ADs are closed, etc, Nick @ Mayors Jewellers in Tampa reeeeeeally came through here. This just arrived, and as a 'unicorn' of sorts she will be called... Rachael.








And the ruby lights of Deckard's car disappear into the darkness...

She's a unicorn of sorts given the current Coronavirus situation with closed ADs. It's a Blade Runner reference.

Rachael is the name of the replicant that/who is the focus of the movie, Blade Runner. I can tell that I’d be fast friends with this OP.

Edited: Congrats on the amazing incoming!

Years... It's the longest I've waited for a timepiece over the past decades of being an avid enthusiast. To be fair, a few years back we moved to a new location so had to restart all new AD relationships. Now after a few years of being here, it looks like my hobby is back on track.

Worth it
