Hi Bill.. Those were the days

Hi Bill..

Those were the days.... lots of fun.

But ignorance is bliss.... I got spoilt, and possibly even bored with my Day Date because it had just been with me for so long... for almost 20 years... trouble free.

But we have to try the rest... to appreciate the best.

Remember my old catch cry.... "You can't kill a Rolex".

I have learnt that there is more to a good watch than a name and heritage...

At the end of the day, reliability (and good service if needed) are the most important foundations of a good brand.

By past experience, I think this new Sub will be around longer than I.

Take care,

Jack
