Christmas came early

I don't know if you guys remember, but I told a story a while back about accidentally finding out about my Christmas present. Well, I got it early today. I'm in love!

Check her out:



I just got done shooting some pics, and you guys get to see her first.

Man, this is the most beautiful watch Rolex makes!

Thanks everyone, I've wanted this watch since I first laid eyes on one in person. I have been dying since finding out about it to actually wear it. Now I can't sleep knowing it's on my wrist... because I keep looking at it thinking how freaking gorgeous it is. :)

Congrats! Wearing my GV right now. It's an awesome reference and a great color for Christmas. Now just don't do too much research or you find out that Rolex changed the color (clarity) or the original GV and you may ending up wanting both variations!
