Bluesy and Rosey are HERE!

Yes folks, after purchasing my watches on Dec 17th, they FINALLY ARRIVED TODAY! After worrying about them getting lost in the mail, my postal carrier called me this morning to tell me that he just picked up my package from the cage and would be delivering it first! After quickly finishing my coffee and English muffins, I opened my package. And YES, I took pics of the occasion to savor and share this incredible experience with my Forum friends!

The pictures take you through the opening of the outer box, inner boxes, packaging, side-by-side of the watches, winding and setting time/date, and finally some shots on the wrist, a couple showing the beautiful blue of Bluesy, lume shot, and the rehaut engraving. The pics aren't the best, but considering what I have to work with (Canon SD100), they're not TOO bad!

Bluesy (16613) is a Z990### and Rosie (179161) is a Z094###. Note that the warranty card(s) were changed during this period of the Z-series run.

Suffice to say, I'm not getting much work done today. WHAT A GREAT DAY!

Very nice and congrats.

Welcome to the Bluesy club.

I told you the package would be safe.

kcmo · 3 January 2008, 03:48 AM

Yaaaayyyyy!!! You and your wife must be on cloud nine! Congrats and enjoy them in good health! Cheers!

pilapandet · 3 January 2008, 03:49 AM

Hey, congratulation on both of you. Now, is your kid turn.

Congrats!

And thanks again to you, Sean, Paulie and Miryna for the encouragement! I've gone from a member to a "Rolex WEARING member!"

Amazing !

Did you buy them online?

watchlady · 3 January 2008, 04:02 AM

What a pair!! Congrats!!

Thanks for the photos! Therefore we could all relive it with you.

Cool rainbows too!

bran · 3 January 2008, 04:11 AM

Beautiful watches...I hope you both enjoy them.

DSJ · 3 January 2008, 04:13 AM

David/Watchnut - I was tempted to try on Rosie too! But I thought it would be "right" for Laura to put it on first.

Alexander, Santa got my 3-year-old son Justin a Timex (see pic). If you mind is creative, it kind of looks similar to an Exp2 with white dial - he loves it!

Dr. Rolex - I got them at my AD, had them shipped to save tax.

JJ, you out there? Another Bluesy Boy!

f16570 · 3 January 2008, 04:29 AM

May you wear them in good health for many years to come.

Velitsko, it really is worth the wait. I have wanted a Rolex since 1992, a Sub since 1995 and a TT Sub since 2002. I got all 3 in 1 watch!

DSJ · 3 January 2008, 09:13 AM

Met my wife at the AD over lunch and had them fitted - we're wearing them now! Plastic cling to come off this evening.

I know that it is worth waiting. I just have to be patient for 3 months and then i will be able to enjoy the watch that i like.
