Waiting for Kermit, and doodlin'...

I'm still new to the world of Rolex but really enjoying it. So far I've purchased a 14060M and,
after a 10-day disappointment with an illegible-to-me, black/SS Daytona, a new EX II 42.

Over time, the one Rolex that has bubbled to the top in my visual-perfection department is
the "yes, honey, it's green" 16610LV. I knew it was only a matter of time before I found the
one I could not resist and today it arrives. WooHoo, as they say!

Meanwhile, I have been posting regularly to the WRUW threads and trying to post a new photo
every day, just to keep it interesting and my creative juices flowing. These photos have really
piled up so I thought that, while "waiting for Kermit," I'd throw them all at each other and see
where they landed...

Sooo, here ya go... I don't normally post a pic this size but this time it was hard to avoid.

Enjoy...

Agreed. Jim's pictures of his Exp42 are killer, and have been messing with my head (and plans).

That is a great collection of shots. I think it's very frame-worthy.
