And In it Came!!!
This is the longest I had to wait for a watch. I ordered in Feb. of this year. I had considered the AP 15305 for quite some time in 2015 and almost pulled the trigger but they were not too easy to find. I saw one for sale from a Grey Dealer who turned out to jerk me around on the price--- telling me he had a new old stock for a bit less than original MSRP. This was what was advertised on Chrono24.

This Christmas... three brothers... three rolexes
Hey folks, just wanted to take a minute to share something from the heart (please bear with me). Every Thanksgiving, as I reflect on the things I'm thankful for, 2017 was a little different for my family and I. We had a lot of ups and some very low lows. The biggest low was losing a very good friend of mine (whom I consider a brother) to cancer at a young age of 39. He was a very dear friend of my family and we all loved him. He and his family were doing what they loved (missionaries in Guatemala taking care of young, abused girls) and God called him home early. Life is short... nothing is guaranteed. So this thanksgiving, after a long year at work, I decided to go visit my grandmother in HK with my mom. As I sat there with my 91 y/o grandmother with my mom, I couldn't help but reminisce one of the last times we were here together. Back in 2001, after I graduated college and the summer before I started the painful grind of my “work career”, my mom and I went to H
