Just got my TT Blue Sub!

Finally, the big day arrives!

I was greeted by a pasteboard box at the door

I opened it up and saw this:

Let's open that one up...

Compared to the Air King...

Finally, on the wrist!

Needless to say, I'm a happy fellow right now!

Those are my mother's conditions. MS is the main culprit.

Love the Blue TT Sub. I've seen the black TT, I think the blue is still my preference.

Awfully nice new watch!

Congrats, wear it in good health,

Mate I was getting excited for you as I was scrolling down and viewing the photos!!
Brings back memories, taking the box home, opening it up, taking in everything with the sights and smells of all things Rolex, and putting it on the wrist...
Congratulations, and thanks for sharing...

Congratulations!! Fabulous looking watch, definitely one of the most beautiful watches the world has ever seen! Those times when you go to open the box and see your brand new watch for the very first time are priceless moments.

Wear it in the very best of health!

Excellent watch Craig! I know how long you've waited and been patient for that. A genuine milestone, I'd say! Wear it in good health, can't wait to see it in person! The shots of the grand opening were nice, too, and I think you recieved the larger box, but it isn't clear. Looks a little wider. That would be a nice addition, fit for the king of blue watches! The three of them will undoubtedly make a handsome group when they're all together.

Fine examples, congradulations!

Congrats....I love the blue. My choices were either the LV or the blue TT.

Would have been happy to pay out the extra but my father wears TT, so went with the LV in the end. My watch for my own person.

Gotta say though, that Blue is one of the best looking watches I've seen (and highly demanded I hear from my AD). I'd rather have that than the SS Daytona any day!

Congratulations Craig!

Now you can throw away those drugs behind the laptop. You won't need them anymore to make you sleep.
