Well TRF members, after a month of reading and a week or so of asking questions it is going to happen! My FIRST new Rolex is being shipped by DavidSW today. I went with the classic submariner, the last of the line (SS with date)! Now, one more question, how the hell do I sleep tonight?

I promise pictures.
Thank you DavidSW for holding my hand through the process.
What a dream come true. Nice to have a crew who understands what I mean.

Mark

Big congrats! DavidSW is a good guy. Don't worry, I'm sure he did next-day delivery. Good luck trying to sleep tonight. It's like a kid leaving for Disney the next day (sometimes better!!!!).

Congrats on the new watch. Forget sleep tonight. Best thing you can do is check the FedEx tracking web site every hour on the hour to see if your package has moved anywhere in the past 60 minutes. If not call them and ask WHY!!!!!!

You don't, you won't. Just stay up and hang out with us until it shows up.
Awesome choice. Can't wait to see the wrist shots of that badboy.

You're not sleeping tonight!

The consolation is that David ships fast. Usually before 10 the next day.
