I Can’t Believe It… INCOMING!!!
After celebrating my 40th birthday in March and not getting the call for the one and only Rolex currently on my list, I thought it was going to be a long shot. After the recent releases/discontinuations were announced in April, I gave up all hope. So I’m sure you can imagine that today I was SHOCKED when my amazing AD called and said that he managed to pull some strings and make it happen for me!
 While I typically don’t like reading cliffhanger incoming threads, I’m just too excited to contain myself  . It was a crazy day at work today so I’m going to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime I’m going to leave my fellow WIS friends of the forum hanging, but I promise to post incoming pics tomorrow! Not sure that I’m going to be able to sleep tonight!!!

I got a call today too. I'm not going to tell anyone what it was about. I'll update this post in 6 years when I have a little more info.

I called this “quick release”. It happens when your brain can't control the excitement. It is common to virgins.

Just picked her up! I’m absolutely floored by the beauty of this piece. Thanks to all those who passed along well wishes and to those who played along with the cliffhanger. Now some obligatory wrist shots

Major congrats!!
Hopefully Rolex is sending out more and more of the 116's before the 126's. I know I'd definitely appreciate a call/text Happy you got yours

Congratulations. I prefer this to the new iteration but since I have the 116500, I might be a bit biased
