Some things are worth the wait....
I've tossed around the idea of purchasing this watch ever since I joined TRF back in Sept 2010, so I decided it was time to pull the trigger. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading other threads and viewing photos as the anticipation built until the delivery finally arrives, so I thought I'd share my own experience with all of my TRF friends.

FedEx truck arrives...

Thanks for all the nice comments and support. The thing that's so cool with TRF is when we purchase a new watch we get to share the experience with other Rolex fanatics around the world!

Is there a better way to spend $8k, I don't think so. I find myself driving down the rode starring at my wrist, no not safe. Congrats on an awesome watch.

I'd eventually like to add a SS GMTIIC and Daytona down the road.
