My first Rolex will be here next week... WOOOO HOOOOOO!!!

Hey all,

After posting my WTT and WTB in the "sales section" of TRF and sifting through many good offers, a few not so good offers and a couple outright scams (one guy in New York wanted me to mail him a money order made out to "cash") I have found a Rolex from a fellow TRFer and it is a deal we are both happy with!



I will be depositing funds in to his account next week and should have my baby on my wrist by the weekend!



I'm not going to say who it is just yet but they are a fellow Canadian and no I am not buying Roger F's SD from him although he has begged me over and over again to take that thing off his hands...



So which watch is it? I ain't saying nothing yet... did I get an SD? Sub Date? SS Daytona? Platinum President? I will let you all know when I post my pics after my baby arrives... what a FEELING! I have been pretty sick this past week but thinking about this watch finally being on my wrist soon is the best medicine ever made.

Time for some Neo-citirin and a shot of brandy...

I love anticipation!

Waiting for a new watch to arrive is better than sex, and lasts longer.

True but sex can USUALLY be had for much cheaper then the cost of your typical Rolex... depending how exotic you are?

Congrats on your new watch, Ren. You got the best of both worlds, a Rolex and no import duty or taxes. Well done.

Vernon,

Thanx buddy I know you have your SD from a TRFer so I'm glad I could get my watch from another TRFer as well... much better to deal with a member of our family you know you can trust right?

Ok guys and gals my baby just arrived today! Many thanx to Launch Mini (John) for deciding to pass his baby along to me for such a good deal and for all his excellent advice!
I will be posting some pics this weekend and sharing my thoughts and how it feels after a few days of constant wearing... as the famous McDonalds jingle goes... I'M LOVING IT!
