They're HERE! They're FINALLY HERE!!!
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!

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!

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!

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