Long time lurker...

I've been lurking this site for awhile and wanted to wait until I got my first Rolex before posting. Well that time has come. Just recieved a new 16610 "M" today. Needless to say I am stoked.

However, since I did not purchase this from an AD, I was hoping someone could shed some light on something. Below is a pic of the contents of the box, can anyone let me know if it's missing anything?

It's nice to finally be a part of the club.

It looks like a complete set to me. Did you get the outer box as well?

Welcome to TRF!

Looks Great. Let see it get some wrist time now instead of sitting in the box all perfect.

Where's the watch? Just kidding.

Looks like it's complete and it appears to be a non-US spec watch as it has the wallet holder, which I like.

Very nice watch.

FWIW, the 2 new Rolex's that I have purchased in the last 10 weeks, the green box has been in a cream (same color as green box's lining) colored box.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. I was in the same boat as you... long time lurker and finally started posting once I got my first. So in about a month and a half I've been making up for lost time and hit 500 posts.

Oh what a feeling,,,,,

Congrats. It makes my weekend, and it's not even mine. It just makes me happy to see others enjoying their new watch.

But the good thing is, unlike a new car, (which the feeling goes away after a couple of years, this is for a life time. My DJ is more than 10 years old, and it still feels like day one every time I wear it.

My TT Sub is 6 mos. old and the bezel is not even broken in yet.

Enjoy,

I think he means the cream outerbox sleeve that houses the green box.
