The real questions is which one do you wear first? The second question is how long before going to the next? I know I could not add three newbies to the rotation as I give the new one a lotof wrist time. After buying a new watch, the current crew tends to spend a lot more time on their respective winders. You are a braver man than me.

Wear them all in good health!

Does this warrant a new thread? "So a Man Goes To Pick Up His 3 New Watches"?

I told her I wanted to go and pick them up this evening, and she said that she's making dinner, and wanted me home for that! So, I'll probably go tomorrow. I just have to convicnce her that I got a good deal, so I don't hear sh___t from her about it later! LOL

Thanks Jen. BTW, when she saw this thread llast week, and saw your picture next to your post, she asked who that beautiful girl was?

If you want to convince her that you got a good deal, just show her for sale threads here at Rolex Forums--for the used counterparts of the watches you got new, from an AD, without any concern of counterfeits.

Your Daytona should typically fetch $9500. Your Deep Sea could fetch around $7500. Your Milguass (green, correct?) should be fetching $6100. These are all used prices, and it comes out to just over $23,000. You got it for $20,000 + tax, which should come well under $23,000.

I think this is a pretty honest way to convince her that you got a good deal and shouldn't lose much money--if at all. Now, if you want to convince her you got a great deal, show her the prices on eBay ;) But I know you mentioned there is no deception between you and your wife, so that might be pushing it.

Yesterday, when I told my AD that my brokerage was closed for Good Friday, so I couldn't to get an offiical check for the payment of the watches until Monday, he said, no problem. He'll take my personal check, and even hold it! So I'll bring my personal check (which is linked to my brokerage account and is good at present anyhow). Do you think he's hard up, foolish, or a good judge of character?

Also, another question: Does anyone know if the Daytona come with a bezel protector?

So have you picked up the watches or not? Yes, the Daytona will come with a clear bezel protector.

I should be getting them today. It's 9:30 AM GMT-5. The AD is about 45 minutes form my house, and he is open until 6PM. I have a meeting this afternoon and my daughter has a piano lesson. So, after than I plan to head to him and wrap it up; that is if the creek don''t rise.

Why are you reading it and posting on it then? Why are you being so rude?

You've missed the fact that this thread is kind of interesting in a freakish sort of way, just as the 3 word thread is many pages of nothing much at all, a sort of Seinfeld thread.

No need to be rude, however.

There will be closure at some point .... maybe.

Sounds like you're a bit cheezed off. No one forced you to read this thread.

You don't want to see the moderators get cheezed off, or do you?

Anyway, this is your last warning............forever

For me it's the actual lack of the physical watches and the overabundance of build up.

Along with the incendiary "Millionaire" thread I am beginning to wonder if you are just yanking our chain.

I'm with you. I'll actually be surprised to see photos of these watches later today if it happens. Nonetheless, it's been an interesting thread to follow!
