Congratulations Nicolas!!

You have always been so gracious to everyone here.  You make a substantial investment of your time, and everyone learns from you.


While I know the first part of the experience was traumatic, I trust this part erases the bad memories.  While we would never wish such a negative experience upon anyone, I am glad your daughter was able to experience and understand how just a little bit of light will always overcome the darkest of shadows.  It is a very difficult world we raise our children in, they lose their tenderness and innocence much too fast.  Essential to show them  love, friendship, and how to take the high road.

Enjoy this one Nicolas... if I may say so, it seems to shine much brighter in the photos than the last one did!

I love Paris at this time. Enjoy the watch btw, it is the exact same case as the Milgauss?

It was end afternoon. As for the case comparison...

Here is your answer: Brushed on the Air King, not polished. Which I like a lot is that the lugs are slimmer than on the GMT MASTER, for example. Best, my friend. Nicolas ...  

Classic lugs and bracelet

I had a chance to see the Air King live for the first time at a dealer last week. I was surprised they had one at all. It is built like a tank. A very sturdy Rolex. I loved the green accents.

Merci, CC. [nt]
