Got a new Rolex...

Package arrived and inside was a different watch than what I had ordered! :-)

Oh well, honest mistake/misunderstanding by the AD, that watch (black Exp42) is going back today, something else arriving in a couple of days.

How's that for a teaser?

How on earth did they send you the wrong watch? That could be a potentially huge mistake for the dealer if you ordered a Timex.

I stopped buying DSSD at 10... ;-)

I don't blame blame the AD really, we had talked about the Exp42 earlier and they made an honest mistake. No biggie. It is not like I'm without watches... ;-)

My guess would be a white Exp42.

But heck, let me know who this AD is, I have some Timex watches I would like to order from them.

Daddy needs a new Patek.

Please order a Timex for me!

As for you Patrick, please let me congratulate you in advance (in case I get banned before you show us pictures of your watch, it seems to me like this tease will be long).
