But since this is the thread to 'celebrate' such experiences in particular here it is again....
I have desired this exact watch with as much feverish intensity as I could possibly desire an inanimate object, from the moment I lay eyes on it when I joined this community in February-March 2010. From that moment, I knew I had to obtain it at some future point in time, regardless of how long the devastating effects of the Great Recession would extend that time-lapse to........ As it turned out, that moment in time arrived precisely
12 years later in February-March 2022 !! I would never have imagined, from the outset, that it could ever end up taking
that long, but it sure did, my financial and professional situation wasn't spared in the slightest from the world being brought to the brink of total economic ruin by the American financial system.... Regardless, I feel eminently privileged to have managed to survive through all those truly difficult years, and not only that, but to have finally been able to obtain this gorgeous watch and make it into an occasion in my lifetime that is as poignant and memorable as any will turn out to be! Here are a couple of images from this gloomy L.A. morning
