My Collection Got a New Addition
Hi Everyone,I have an awesome story that I wanted to share from a couple of days ago.On Friday, I came home early from work. My fianc��e and I had dinner plans, so I was just hanging out around the apartment until she got home. I heard the door open a couple of hours before I expected her. She came into our room and handed me a beautiful card. While I was reading the card, she left and came back with a very large box (you all probably see where this is going by now). Exactly four months before our wedding day, my fianc��e wanted to surprise me with an engagement gift of my own. I am still in shock that she surprised me with this gift and went through so much effort to do this for me. Even cooler was that she knew I regretted selling my Speedmaster Pro and replaced it with another Speedmaster that will always be so much more special to me. Okay, onto the pics!Reverso missing from the group shot

How do you insure an expensive Rolex shipment?
Straightforward question, I'm just an individual, not a business & I am looking ship a $20k watch. How do I protect that shipment? I looked at ParcelPro, but they seem to be more geared at businesses and needed all types of business information to sign up for an account. Can anyone advise here?Thanks!
