A Long Time Coming....Incoming.
I joined the forum 14 months ago. After a lot of reading, researching and posting I've finally pulled the trigger on my first ever Rolex! I purchased a white Milguass from one of the most trusted sellers on the forum. it will be here on Saturday. The waiting is going to be horrible, but I guess if I can wait 14 months what's 2 more days?

I really appreciate all of the fantastic feedback and advice provided on here. What a great group of folks.

The white Milgauss was the Rolex that hooked me on the brand. Since then I've been all over the map between a black (non-GV) Milgauss, Explorer, Explorer 2 and a DateJust 2. The best advice I received (many times over) was to try them on and see which one sings to you. The white Millie definitely sings to me. Can't wait to get it! Pictures to follow....

Thank you all very much for the kind comments. I told my ten year old son this morning that my Rolex would be here tomorrow. This was the exact conversation:

Son: Awesome. Did you get the blue Milgauss?
Me: No.
Son: Did you get the black one with the green crystal?
Me: No.
Son: Did you at least get the black one with the clear crystal?
Me: No. I ordered the white one.
Son: Ahhhh.

Tough crowd at my house.
