I don¡¯t usually do ¡°incomings¡± but it just seems fitting this week. I actually recieved the watch a couple of months ago from Takuya (Thanh Do). What a great guy and so easy to work with. With the help from Chadridv (Chad), who advised me on which bracelet I needed, I sourced a new Super Jubilee 63600 courtesy of mask1196 (Elliot) also very trustworthy and easy to work with. So this morning..... I put it all together.....and had to share! I also would like to add how much I enjoy this forum. The wealth of knowledge here, the humor, the willingness to help others and the great people I¡¯ve met in my short time here is amazing. A big thanks to all!
