Turning the page on career and new special watch!
Hey TRF,
After 16 years of building my company into one of the best in the industry, I sold it a few weeks ago. Staying on for 2-3 years as a senior executive so no retirement party just yet. My wife said to me after we closed the deal, “ You need to buy yourself a special watch to commemorate all the hard work you did building the business and securing its legacy. I am so proud of you and it’s well deserved.” I know, she’s a keeper. 😉 So, I did. A Platinum Day Date has been a watch I’ve lusted after for years and love the quadrant ice blue dial. I found a brand new one from a private collector who purchased it in 2022 and never took the tags off. It’s a stunner!

Excellent!!!
There sure is a great sense of accomplishment in building your own business and even more so when someone else realizes it as well.
