The day I've been waiting for - Incoming!

I've known about this for quite some time, and even had the box here wrapped up for almost a week. The wrapping is off, the box is open, and my wrist is happy :)

I can remember the first time I wanted a Rolex - I was a teenager at the time, and 46 now, so it's been a very long wait. When the DJ2 came out, it just further fueled the desire.

The pictures are the best I can do with my cell phone, I'll post better pictures next week. I'll be out of town this week for some much needed R&R.

I present - my new TT DJ2.

Yes, my first Rolex. I have several other watches, a collection of 11 pieces ranging from an automatic Tag Heuer Day/Date Chrono to Mickey Mouse, and everything in between. But yes, this is my first Rolex.
