Today was the day!
After a short four month wait, my local AD came through just four days before my birthday. This is my first Rolex bought directly from an AD and am thrilled the two year estimated wait wasn’t required.

Have a great weekend, all!

Yes it is. I’ll light it every night at 10:10 and say a little prayer for you.

Broke out the tape and my wrist currently measures 6 7/8. It was an even 7 inches 2 1/2 months and 24 pounds ago ago. I have about another 25 pounds to lose so I hope it doesn’t end up looking like a monster on me. My wrist is rather flat so it should turn out OK.
