Congrats

Sending someone to get a camera.

First impressions:

Need to send more money to cover cost of tape on package.

Noticed new type of outer box as the front panel folds out.

On top of inner box is ALL the papers in original holder. YEA!

Opened inner box and notice polishing cloth and bracelet link that was removed. Nice! I have lost a few of those.

Before I look I am thinking that I have never seen a YM in person. Just pictures. Kind of like the women JJ and I used to date?!

Here goes.....OH MY GOD! The blue face is much different from my old TT SUB. At first looked black in the shadows of the box and when out in the light.......PERFECT. Sorry TT BLUE SUB owners, but I love the color.

Now, the clasp is a thing of beauty. Seen pictures on this forum of the new clasp, but it must be seen to be appreciated. Very nice and classy.

Wait, just looked at the dial and the red spelling of Yatch Master is classy and perfectly understated.

Looked at the back of the case and not only is the green sticker there, but also the clear sticker.

The watch is perfect in every way.

Got to go somewhere else as people are starting to stare. My wife is the CFO and I think she is getting embarrassed at the old man. Young people! Yes, she works for me! Don't think ex-stripper......ok?

By GOD, better than Viagra. Not that I need it! Got to go and change out my underwear.

Will post pics soon. Will send extra $'s to KansiVet as I realize now that I stole this watch. Other then the birth of my kids I have not been this excited. I have three other Rolexs, but MAN this is the one for me!!! I got to go!!!!

I never kiss and tell, but if Tom wants to answer that question that is fine with me. Reason for no pictures is my highspeed connection is down and I am forced to use verizon wireless wifi SLOW connection.

Congratulations on the acquisition there!

Tom (Kansaivet) is a great man who has contributed very much here on TRF.
