It's BACK from RSC

Had to make two trips but I'm so happy it's back!

And it's a pretty neat box too, not the regular service flat box. This the regular box for the heavy metal models?

Your a lucky guy Paulie your GMT looks fantastic!
My 5513 Sub is at Rolex UK for a refurb at the moment and the 8 weeks estimate is going so slowly.
I am really missing the watch how sad is that!!!!
Enjoy having your old friend home.

Nice. I have to admit, that's the first time I have seen that type of box. Do you mind telling us which RSC you used? Thanks!

BTW, the SeaMaster looks great as well.

LOL Thanks everyone. The shipping foam is pretty neat isn't it???? Oh, and I'm happy about the watch too!

I used the NY RSC. The customer service person I worked with was very pleasant, err, both times. I'll have to try one of the other two RSCs next time.

I wore the Omega for the rest of today, let the GMT sit on the winder after 40 turns of the crown. Tomorrow it goes on for the whole week!!!

Great shots Paulie. Now go out and dirty it up so you can send it back 5 years from now. Enjoy.
