...incoming!!! :-)

I can't believe I'm finally saying this! My first Rolex is on the mail on its way!!! Never have I wanted a holiday weekend to be over so quickly! It's an Airking 5500 I bought from someone who responded to my WTB post. I'll update this with pics when it gets here on Tuesday.

I'm in the same boat, I just purchased a 16610M(My first Rolex) and can't wait for the long weekend to be over, the suspense is killing me!

Well... It's here!!! I'm so happy with it! Unfortunately it comes with one of the scariest stories thats ever happened to me. So I'm following the tracking information all day and I'm psyched when I see that its been delivered to the concierge. I get home and I can't wait to get the package from the front desk but the concierge says "sorry, no packages for your apartment number today." My heart sank. I made the poor guy search everywhere but he was certain that the USPS truck didnt give them any packages because in his book nothing had been signed for. I was in total shock. I didnt know what to do, who to call, if it could have been stolen. I felt truly aweful. Then I opened my mailbox to get the normal mail and there was the package, shoved awkwardly in my maibox :-). So everything turned out just fine and this watch is even nicer than it was in pictures!

Good ol Air-King. I think I had a big dip in productivity at work after getting my first Rolex - couldn't stop staring at my wrist all day!

Congrats on your acquisition!
