Bryce --

Thanks for your comments! I am glad you were the first, and that the relationship that developed over the course of our "deal" was really special. You set the bar pretty high for the enjoyment level that I felt during our correspondence. But I'd have to say that the other two buyers were right up there also. The level of openness and trust was really up there in all cases. I had been warned that as a "newbie seller", I should be prepared to expect sale prices much lower that the market might otherwise bring. In my experience, this was not at all true, and I thank all 3 buyers for the trust that this indicates!!

I'm glad to hear that you expect the watch back from service soon. And I'm glad that nothing unexpected turned up during service. I hope it will give you much enjoyment as you wear it on those special occasions. I'll be watching for your pictures.
