Its back baby (arrival)

About one and a half month ago I traded my Yachtmaster for a 16613 Blusey, I been regretting it ever since then as I dont think the Blusey is for me, so today my new/old watch arrived.

Package arrival:



He stuff the package with a pizza box I actually found a piece of a pizza in the package



Ahhh but whats there under the crap pizza box, a beauty await:



No pizza smell:



Can you guess what it is yet?



Ohh yes, my favorite watch back with me, I just LOVE the look of this Rolex, one of the best looking Rolex IMO:



Time for a bath to wash away the old owner "pizza" smell



Ahhh clean at last, look at the shine:

This was the first Rolex I wanted. At the time I knew nothing about the brand and wanted the watch simply because of how good looking it was. Unfortunately my dad was unwilling to spend that much on my first Rolex so I got "stuck" with a 16610. Might come back to this though one day...

Congrats on reacquiring your grail. I must admit I would have been a little nervous opening up that packaging and first seeing a pizza box.
