Congrats on your new additions. There is a special feeling with that first Rolex purchase. I was so excited with my first Rolex purchase and I can only imagine how cool it must be to have your wife experience that same feeling with you.

Wear them in good health!

Very nice pieces. They probably want the warranty card to use for your appraisals as the model and serial numbers are on them.

Show the watches a little sun then you will see the lume, my sub doesn't glow much at all unless it's been near sunlight

Incredible pair, congrats to the both of you. The Airking looks instantly classic. The lume on those babies will glow like a full moon if you expose them to light, and no they're not tritium anymore so they need charging.
Congrats, I think a celebration dinner is in order.

Yes Sir,

Mayor's is the AD we used. I was AMAZED at the stock they had. At least 75-100 in the case with more in the safe. They had 2 GMTIIc Stainless. I got the one from the safe! I guess that's why there was no lume when I left the store 30 min later

They also had several Sub-C, A Hulk Sub, Deep Sea SD, New Explorer II in Blk and White.

I want to thank everyone for their help in making this decision and for welcoming me to the "club"!!

I haven't stopped staring since we walked out of Mayor's last night at 6pm

Celebratory dinner is tonight

Mailing cards is normal for large chain stores - like Mayors. They keep the cards at head quarters as they will move watches from one store to another for customers.

They will mail cards along with appraisals.

The lume needs light to charge.

Congrats!
