Okay, so I've knocked another one off the 'to do' list. Bought it right here on TRF of course... trouble is I have to wait for a whole 5 or so days for it to arrive in Sydney, Australia from the US.

Anyway I need some suggestions on how to pass the next 120 or so hours by as quickly as possible, does anybody have any secrets for killing time while you wait for your watch to be delivered - spend more time with friends, family, religion, focus on my business, watch paint dry?

How do you keep yourself sane while you wait? :)

Why not do what I always do?

Search the web for every single picture of the watch (year/model/config) you have coming, then print thousands and thousands of pictures of it and cover the walls of your "secret room" with them.

Just like my "Pamela Anderson" room....

Wow so you had Pamela Anderson coming at one time? How did it go?

I didn't think that a comment so devoid of wit warranted a retort in this instance :)

ParisDakarBmw · 27 January 2010, 02:17 AM

Take up cigar band art. Sit in your dining room pasting cigar bands to some poor object until it arrives. I'm currently making a collage made of old Hemmingway pictures, cigar bands, and shredded us currency. Try not to make a collage of a Pepsi GMT every time you make a piece of art. Those get a little old after 3 or four.!!! Eventually the doorbell will ring, and the mailman will give you the watch. 119 hours to go!

If you're like me, there's nothing that's going to stop the suffering and anticipation! You'll just have to grind through buddy!
