Let's congratulate the Man, who took a very important part to this virtual home of ours in all discretion and true modesty. Let's congratulate the impressive Collector who built one of the best collection of vintage Rolex, but not only, as he owns pieces ...  

Great job...

...what I love the best is Bill's watches get used...amazing...he actually wears them : )

Absolutely. He is not a plastic seal guy.
