Good Wednesday there Darius, and Happy Retirement Gary !!! Yowza, what a day it is honestly. One to remember, and cherish !
Darius, just looking at this T-Rex we are once again reminded of how Renato always goes above, and beyond all the time. From the neat moon phase, to gorgeous CF, this T-Rex is tremendously cool !!!
And Gary, holy cowza, the BIGGEST of congratulations here to you on retirement !!! I can imagine you are just ecstatic sir. This Bulova must be too being worn on such a monumental day too ! Epic sir !!!
I really hope you can enjoy this whole time Gary. ..It’s got to be almost like a dream I would imagine. But I hope that you can look back on all you did with real pride. As well as look to the future with real excitement. ..Just imagine the extra time you will be able to spend with family, and friends Gary. Or all the time you will have to do the things you enjoy, and be with those you love.
This is what you work your whole life for. ..Yowzers, I’m so happy for you Gary !
A GIGANTIC congratulations on all of this !!!
P.S. And I hope we continue to be fortunate enough to keep enjoying this hobby with you sir.

Thanks Tom, happiness is only one of the emotions of course....once I get more used to the idea of not working, the other emotions may pass. Right now I am a weird place that I have never been before. Gainfully unemployed. May take some getting used to. I will be in a better place in a few months once some stuff gets sorted out.
Anyway I have no intention of giving up watches (the buying will slow down...well it already has) but I hope to participate more not less

You are very very welcome Gary.
Yeah, I can see how it might be more than a little strange at first sir. It’s like riding one of your cool bikes there every day, and then all of a sudden you just stop riding. At first it has to be a shock right?! And you wonder what’s next. But I think once you realize how you can you’ll be able to kick up enjoying life, family, friends, as well as just more freedom in general, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear.
Add to the fact that you’ll still have watches like you are saying, along with us, and yup, that’s the icing on the cake.
This was such cool news to hear Gary. Not to mention was incredibly nice of you to let us share the day, along with event with you. A KING SIZED congratulations sir !!!!
