Bluesy Inbound - Now the waiting!!!

Through the years I've bought and sold many watches online and locally. 2x 16610s, 16200/220/233, 16013, 14060m, Breitlings, Omegas, etc. etc. etc. I don't think I've ever anticipated any watch as much as the TT Sub I just wired for. I just received tracking, and it should be here Monday. How do you guys survive the wait without going crazy? Not sure how I'm going to make it 3 more days!

Congrats on your new purchase. Waiting is tough but the anticipation will only make it sweeter once it arrives. Post some pics when you can.

Did you get the newer 116613 or the old classic 16613?

16803. Looks just like the 16613 except for the open 6 and 9 datewheel.

Only three days to go

I feel your pain in the wait, I made a deal here yesterday for a 16613 and it'll be a week before it gets here.
I wish I only had to wait till Monday.
Wear it in good health

Here it is after a gentle polish, right before I shipped it back to him:



I prefer non-SEL bracelets, but his was the watch that gave me the bluesy bug!

Congrats! The next 3 days will seem like a year - so, try not to think about it. Easier said than done, right? Can't wait to see some pics.

Working from home today, and just got faked out by a FedEx Sprinter parked right in front of my house. I ran downstairs all excited, undid the alarm, etc. and then it PULLED AWAY!
