Very well said, Norm - a true officer and a gentleman, you are. This is a really a great and respectable forum and I haven't seen any gunfights at all.
But just to add my last footnote on this topic, and this is just my opinion and maybe let me risk some advice to some on the forum:
You acquired a Rolex because you could afford it and because there was a very special reason (i.e. a milestone, an achievement) to celebrate it with that purchase. Why keep it in the box and not enjoy it as often as you can?
If you go deep sea fishing, wear it. What can go possibly wrong? The watch falls overboard? It'll never happen. You take the best radio, the best fish finder, the best reels, rods, lines and hooks, don't you? ....then why scrimp on a piece of crucial equipment that MIGHT spell the difference out there 3 miles or more from the shoreline? Trust me, a Rolex can take any beating on any boat in any weather.
One day when we hit our old age and spend our final days relegated to a rocking chair wrinkled and faded, among the things we might most regret is not wearing that Rolex often enough in our younger days. After all, life is really too short, amigos --- and the need for a daily feeling of a celebration with that Rolex on the wrist (or for that matter any grail watch) is what life is all about ;).
Well put!!
