The Anticipation...

Hello everyone!

I've been lurking these forums for a while and finally decided to register when I was ready to purchase my first Rolex. I figure now is an appropriate time to introduce myself as my package is currently at a FedEx location, scheduled for delivery tomorrow!

The anticipation is killing me. I bought here on TRF from a reputable seller (will formally thank tomorrow) so no worries about the transaction, I'm just afraid I won't get enough sleep tonight when my mind seems to be working overtime on all things Rolex! I guess turning off the computer instead of looking at pictures of beautiful timepieces would help?

Anyways, I look forward to contributing to this great forum more often. Will post crappy cell phone pics tomorrow evening.

Welcome. I recently went through the same wait and recall with clarity the anxiety. It's all good, and even better when you finally get your mitts on the box.
Best of luck with your acquisition. Most importantly, enjoy!

I am sure I will go through the same experience once I have confirmed my purchase of my very first Rolex.

So, my first Rolex is sitting on my wrist. Thanks DavidSW!

Have dinner plans later so I might not get a chance to post pics until tomorrow, but will most definitely do so.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

G serial stainless sub date (black/black). I figured that for my first rolex I would like to purchase something relatively new. I'm sure that the vintage mania will be soon to follow

Cheers!
