Please join me in welcoming back a friend, lol.. Fri, 28 December 2012 12:07 Go to previous message

In Simon3's 'Regretful Releases' topic below, I mentioned that I so!mewhat sadly traded away my DSSD for a Top Gun Miramar IWC. I love the IWC, but I've started to miss my Deep Sea, so I decided to do something about it, and pick up a replacement. Yesterday, I purchased this new, G-serial 116660 from my 'adopted' AD in the town where I went to high school, lol..

I simply cannot get over how perfectly balanced this watch truly is. It's an amazing feat of engineering! Presenting my new Rolex Deep Sea. Kindly ignore the gratuitous pics of my '88 Porsche 928 S4, lol..











Thanks for looking and best wishes to *everyone* for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2013!!

Best regards, -rick
