I am a big fan of this reference because of the two-tone and the way it displays the information. I have a feeling there are still some at ADs and there might be some good pricing too...

Welcome and congratulations!

The 5496 looks good on you, and I think gold-plat or gold-gold TT looks great. Have a good weekend!
