un·re·quit·ed
ˌənriˈkwītid/

    synonyms:unreciprocated, unreturned; 
    vain, spurned, rejected, unsatisfied


Now in fairness, I have not grabbed the brass ring when I've had the chance.  Once or twice, we passed each other, not unlike when you pass a beautiful woman in the train station.  But I was with another… an OMEGA Speedmaster, a Rolex Bubble-back… but those were just physical things, passing fancies. Clearly, they were not long term relationships.  Perhaps I wasn't ready to commit…

But somethings are just so clear, so obvious… so right.

This is one of my two favorite watches from this year's BaselWorld - the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 in blue.

If there is any fairness in the universe, I will hit the correct six numbers this week and win the Lotto, and then this fantastic indigo time machine will spend it's life with a man who will love it for what it is -
Perfection.
