Icon10 Quick! Somebody ask me what time it is!

Well, I started a new thread to show the pics. First of all, a BIG thank you to all of you that commented on the other one, and congratulated me, and an even BIGGER thank you to Larry (BNLion) for going with me to Ben Bridge and picking it up. As some of you know, it is tradition for me to put on a suit and tie whenever I go pick up a new Rolex. It started a long time ago, and hopefully will go on for a long time. I was so excited today, I grabbed the wrong coat out of my closet! So I had dark blue sacks and a gray suit coat. Fashion police aside, it was an outstanding afternoon, and my first impressions of the watch are: LOVE at first sight. Here are some pics, and more and a review to follow.

Thanks again everyone

Awesome incoming Paul, enjoy in good health. Nice to see Kim in good health also. I might have to look more formal entering an AD from now on you're making me look bad heh.

P.S. No one needs to ask you what time it is, it's written all over that grin ear to ear on your face lol.

Congrats Paul. It's lovely and I know from your posts you were hankering after one of these since they were annnounced at Baselworld. It looks great. (and you look better in real than your avatar too!)

Congrats on the pick up, looks great on you! That looks like the Ben Bridge in La Jolla, vice Fashion Valley, correct? They've always been very friendly to me, even if I've never bought from them.

That's properly nice, the DJ is severely underrated on this forum, IMO. It'll do pretty much anything any of the sports models can do (unless you are 110 metres underwater - which seems wildly improbable) and is better-looking as well. Big congrats on a fantastic watch.

Have to agree on this. I really like the DJII and the DJ41 models.
