I'm not quite fond of gold watches but this does not apply here. Amazing find you scored here!

Awesome addition Baron! Never was one who desired an 18k Moonwatch but this reference is a breathtaking example. Wear it only in the best of health and luck.

Not from Peru I trust?

Congrats! I held in "escrow" @Tubber example, and I can tell you that these watches in hand are something special.

The heft is insane!

I truly hope you get some good use out of that watch. It's fantastic, it deserves to be worn and displayed and shown off. It'll be a real shame if you lock it away in a safety deposit box somewhere. That being said, I'd personally be too terrified to wear that thing out of the house. I'd probably put it on when I woke up, got dressed, made some coffee, then I'd take it off, lock it away, put on a less awesome watch and go to work. Then come home, put on my finest suit, light some candles, set some mood lighting, sensual music, put on my watch, heat up some hot pockets, poor some scotch, and sit in a well lit yet slightly dark corner, wearing that thing in the safety of my own home. And then I'd post about it here.

At least one straight writing 69 is not under appreciated

Sounds about right. So far I've cleaned it, taken photos of it, admired it, wore it to dinner in my own home. Soon I'll be weighing it to satisfy @spidey.batman123 's curiosity. My saintly father on the other hand, tells me he is planning to wear it on the golf course tomorrow.
