Hope you're happy, guys - all stickers peeled off!! LOL!!
That's right, guys & gals.....
It gave me intense pleasure to pain-stakingly remove all the stickers ever so slowly. There were like over a dozen of them all over the damn place!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Beautiful pics, JJ. When I bought my IIc, I had to argue a few times with the AD since they wanted to take off the plastic themselves! But I wanted the pleasure of doing it myself (and a little part of me was afraid they might be careless and scratch it.) Glad to see your getting so much enjoyment out of the Rolex buying ritual!

When I first saw this site, with my bad eyes I thought I read something about "JJ Peeling off" and thought we were going to see pictures of JJ naked.

JJ: I can recall a while back when you were on the fence about selling or keeping old bluesy and after much deliberation you ending up letting her go. Well, your replacement for old bluesy is definately the right choice. It's a truely beautiful watch. Wear it in good health for many years to come.
