Yes, I love that smell, I think for now on, I will just have to go to the safe and open the boxes I already have, the Rolex smell is far more addicitive and more expensive then the new car smell

My first thought is "I paid three times the cost of my first new car for that little thing!" Then I go back into WIS mode!

What hits me is my gf's shoe, in the back of my head, with her saying,
'You bought ANOTHER &*%#$@ Rolex?!?'

That new box smell hangs around too - I've got the newer style boxes that are a couple of years old and you still get the smell when you open them(i.e after you pry the sticking box lid open

Something is happening at chez Irani. His last few posts have been about "scratching an itch" and that "new Rolex box smell" I see another Rollie on the way for our fun loving Kiwi legend...perhaps it will be blue?
