I was still in the aftershock of devastation from my wife’s passing. And this site and you guys did help me go through and back to sanity. I have to say out loud that I am so grateful for that. Thank you Bill and others to help me out. I truly mean it.

That’s what makes it fun for sure. From an Omega Flightmaster to the Urwerk 105.

And from some 36mm vintage Grand Seiko to a Dato Perpetual Tourby! I’m glad we all don’t like the same things.
