WARNING!!!!! THESE PICTURES ARE GRAPHIC. IF YOU HAVE A WEEK STOMACHE DO NOT LOOK AT THEM. BUT HEY BE GLAD THIS IS NOT YOUR ARM. THANKS GWOZHOG

I just about sliced my wrist off with a piece of sheetmetal on Monday. 8 internal stiches and 15 external stiches. I was pretty bummed because I knew I was buying my baby this week. Thanks to you guys I found out about the price drop so I began calling every Rolex dealer with 200 miles of the house. Every dealer within a 100 miles said no price drop due to the increase on May 10th. Well the last person I called said they would do 20 percent if I could get there today and pay with Cash. So Here we are now and Happy Birthday to me. I guess I should be happy that I atleast have another arm to wear it on. Thanks for the Heads up on the price increase. The watch is ausome and if you have been on the bubble you better get inside before Tuesday. Gwozhog

Congrats on the watch and a story you'll remember forever, if you ever forget the scar will remind you.

Congrats on the good score.

When I cut it I thought of the Terminator when he was showing his metal forearm. I could not believe I was not bleeding. I was waiting for the blood to start spurting with every heartbeat. I got lucky and did not hit a vein, nerve, or tendon.

A great story to go with the new watch. Enjoy mate.

Good thing the slice was on your right arm, so it doesn't affect the wearing of the new Rolex.

Congratulations and heal quickly!
