    You are valuable and there’s no replacing you too, Sanjay. Too bad we can’t say the same thing about the watches 🤣(well I guess they are valuable too !)

      Thank you very much my friend! Focused on the GSOTM and SLGH009….or maybe something else that I don’t know I want…..😂whenever the opportunity presents itself.
      Looking forward to seeing your collection mature as well, my dear friend!
