Congratulations Paul!
 Now don't worry about the phone ringing, it's probably just Jocke prank calling you...

Paul, why wasn't this posted in the Rolex General Discussion page when you could have had all of us anticipating your arrival?
Congratulations!

I think you should have taken a picture of a box - any box, that is. Then you could have done the long 'incoming' tease a la Sam. But in this case, you could have kept the suspense up for many days.
