Adventurous, maybe a bit dangerous, but very rewarding. Congratulations to your retirement, and enjoy your watches.

Thanks!

The malachite helped to give some green energy ;) I actually collect few minerals and been thinking that they could work well on few other watches; will sure give it a try at least!

That is a lot of green!
