I went to the mailbox and what do I find waiting for me? Why there lyes a package, and it is from Ubi!
I love getting packages. This package is special and wouldn't be photo worthy if it didn't include Ubi's famous marble countertop background style picture...
Man that adhesive they use to close the lid is sticky business. A padded envelope inside the box, Ubi's protective nature?
Amidst a thick wad of bubble wrap, I find a hard ticking nucleus. after a little more unwrapping.. Behold!

What started as me looking for ONE SCREW for a UN bracelet, turned into my friend Ubi sending me this awesome gift. We have so many generous members belonging to this great community, but this is the most feel-good experience I've had personally bestowed on me. It's one thing to have a friend give you a watch, but to get a watch you really like from a friend out of pure kindness? What can you say about that?
One of you guys posted a picture of your roman numeral MMC a while ago and It's been on my short list ever since.
The functional power reserve is a nice touch. The watch wears comfortably and has a classic handsome presence.
Not too long ago, Ubi posted his white faced MMD for sale. If you've been around RWG long enough, you know good deals don't last more than minutes sometimes. I was the first one to the thread, and was 99% ready to stake my claim, but I have taken in a few watches lately, and I'm getting married in a few weeks. Another watch wasn't in the cards. A minute or two later, the watch was claimed by another member. HackR, probably, that guy buys everything. Maybe Redwatch?
So was it fate? I don't know. I begged and pleaded with him not to send me a watch, but he held a E-gun to my head and tortured my home address out of me. I am very honored to have a gift bestowed upon me by one of, if not the coolest guy on the boards. Ubi, thank you is just not enough!
This is a watch that will never leave my personal collection.
