Anxiously Awaiting My Third Rolex
Well, I did it. Last night I did the deed and now I'm enduring the agonizing wait while my new/old Thunderbird makes it's way to me. I've been wanting either a Turn-O-Graph or a Yachtmaster with a blue dial for a while now. The new Turn-O-Graphs turned me off because I really don't like that red second hand, so I started looking at older Thunderbirds. This one's been talking to me for a few weeks and I finally caved to it's siren song.
Here's the seller's pics to tease and torment me for the next couple weeks...

Thanks guys!
Mine's a 1991 vintage also, but from the pics I think it's aged well. It there a nail biting smiley or something to show my impatience?

This is a strange coincidence. My first dressy Rolex was also a tt T-bird I bought in 1991, except the bezel on mine is the previous version. Still have it today, still going strong and keeping time spot on!
Congrats on yours and welcome to the club! |

I feel your pain.
Yeh, I do! I ordered my watch from DavidSW who told me it would take a few weeks. My ******* (opps , I almost gave it away) should be here by early September. But I am so anxious.
