Dear Carl, (FeelingTheBlues) just a little question...
Are you not missing yours just a little bit...For those interested the end links are butchered from an old Seiko on to an old Hirsch croc strap.Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Recent trip to an AD
Stopped by Leeds and Sons while on vacation today in Palm Desert. Very nice people and great selection. Upon walking through the doors I noticed a nice lady purchasing a PP (couldn't tell what it was but most likely a gift) and she looked at me (noticed my 5167A) and said, He's a Patek Philippe guy too. That made me and the sales associate chuckle.The Patek section was small but had a few I wanted to try on. Just thought I'd share. The YG Calatrava was my fave followed by the RG 5712

Datejust 2 UK discount
I know I will be in the minority but, after trying on the DJ41 I was left a little underwhelmed.For me I prefer the size of the DJ2, this may be due to it being a little thicker like my beloved Milguass, coupled with the stunning blue azzurro/roman dial.Would I be right in assuming that there would be plenty of these models still in their displays and, with this in mind, do you think I could obtain a good discount? - So far I have been offered 5% bringing the price down to ��4988.

Glorious Journey
Greetings TRF members. Been a lurker for quite some time and have appreciated the opportunity to research and narrow down my search for the perfect 1st Rolex. My beautiful wife and I are currently in the Caribbean celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary when out of the blue this morning, she presents me with something nearly as beautiful as her, a gorgeous white faced DateJust II with fluted bezel on an oyster bracelet.My heart stopped and the tears welled up as I opened the present and realized what was before my eyes. The exact watch I have zeroed in on after much research with a beautiful wife/mother who continues to get joy from giving joy.Thankful to God for the perfect woman in my life who pays attention. As usual, this has been in the works between her and my two daughters for at least 6 months as it sat idle in the safe, only seeing the light of day long enough for my girls to take a picture with the watch on their wrist and a big smile months ago!Grateful today on my 24th ann
