I know exactly how you feel. There's nothing like seeing a long term project come to a close, however the path to get there in collecting parts, missing out on and closing deals, finding that one single piece that takes a year or longer to obtain, and putting it all together with your own two hands... It makes the entire endeavor interesting but also helps solidify a personal, sentimental attachment to the piece being built. Nothing like seeing it all come together, and when you finally strap that watch to your wrist, look down and realize 'I built this...', it makes it all worth the time, effort, money and wait.
Beautiful piece, Namor. I love it!
