Is there anything more fun than opening the FedEx box?

Exactly 25 hours after sending Oscar (bodybump) a wire, I received a box via FedEx Priority shipping. It is a Y-series blue 16613, and though it was purchased in 2003, it must have been a safe queen, as it is absolutely perfect! Thanks Oscar! The sellers here on TRF are the best. Given how little many clerks at the ADs know these days, I trust the TRF crew even more to know the history and authenticity of these fine watches.












Welcome to the diver family!

The only thing that could top that is if the FEDEX box also had a Tiffany Box inside it !
