Gosh, I love that new smell - don't you?

The glitter of the gold, the shine of the steel ... or both? The smell ain't too bad either.

Hey JJ,

I totally agree, Opening a Brand New Rolex Box is an amazing feeling. Like Xmas Morning! I remember when I had a SS Daytona Fedex to me I checked the Fedex Tracking website every hour to see where the package was. When the Fedex truck pulled in front of my apt building, I was like damn...Yeah Baby!!!!!!!! I was thinking, Man, I need to get a life someday!!!

Hey MW...it's pretty much the only scent you can smell at the moment the amount of boxes you've been opening

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). Maybe the scent can be bottled..Eau de Rollie!

Nothing. I felt nothing. I just froze for 2-3 seconds. Heard nothing. Saw nothing.

Forgot bottling the smell....If you could somehow roll that feeling I had in some paper and smoke it, you'd quickly be a rich, rich man.....
