Dear Stewart,

While it is not the PVD version (of any variant) that I was lusting after, I am still sufficiently, how do you say over there...ah! chuffed to bits about it. The stainless is the most wearable when you get right down to it.

As for a Eagles-esque rendezvous via vintage warbird on said dusty, coke-flecked strip, I would be amenable should you procure 20 cases of Harrod's mustard. That shit is the bizness. Otherwise, I might just show up with Homeland Security and finger you as an enemy combatant and take the plane and keep the watches....and, of course, remove your timepiece as well.

As we like to say here: welcome to Amerika!
