I'm in the same boat with you. I purchased my TT 16613 from Tony Wednesday night, and had to go out of town through the weekend. My package should be delivered on Monday.

Best advice is to stay busy.

just think of it as an added bonus... the waiting sometimes is better than the arrival... you have something to look forward to What are you waiting for from David?

I would say that waiting is 75% of the fun ... ... also because when it will arrive, you'll start again to think to the next purchase ...

By the time I wired the money Wednesday night, I was already thinking which Rolex I should get next. That's when I realized I better cool my jets for a little while.

Truthfully I enjoy the window-shopping.... the saving up..... the whole 'hunt-chase' thing almost as much as the watch.

Not that I've ever been in the situation (yet) but waiting for one to be delivered's gotta be tough though.

So I bought my last watch through an AD. Seriously - I was at the door walking out of the store trying to decide what my next purchase would be (Sub or Plat YM). It's a sickness don't you know.

Can't wait to see the pics of your new babies.

Chris just PM'd me that 'The Eagle Has Landed' but I've still got a fair ol' balance to settle up yet.....

Anticipation is all a part of the fun. Ok it's not fun, but you do tend to appreciate it more later.
