Icon10 Bit the bullett - update!

OK. So I'm shaking so much I can barely type (or see for that matter), but the good news is the ROLEX IS HERE IN MY HANDS!!!!!!

All I can say is WOW

I didn't get this excited when I picked up my new car. Such a drug. Must do it again ...

Details: 14060M, COSC, Z serial (Z looks better than M, anyway) - complete, perfect, card warranty stamped by AD and the best part ... NO DUTY

Need to calm down and decide where to go to adjust bracelet. I'm thinking the RSC, which is over the street from my office.

Thankyou all for the inspiration I needed to make this a reality.



Justin

PS Pics to follow when my hands stop shaking

It's awesome to see someone get a new Rolex and be thrilled. That is the way it should be. No sniveling, no complaints, no "they tried to rip me off", no whining. Hope you enjoy it and wear it in good health.
