** INCOMING FedEx = End of the L O N G - 9 month Wait. WOO HOO!!!! **
Well after broken promise after broken promise (from my regular RM AD’s), I called in a favor from RM HQ and the agony is coming to an end. FINALLY!!
With the RM market as hot as it is and only Boutiques getting the new pieces for the last 6-9 months, my frustration factor was through the roof. Add to that the European summer vacation taking place for almost a month starting soon, I said this MUST happen. Calls placed. Begging transpired. Watch shipped from RM HQ to RM US. The insanity will finally come to an end tomorrow…it’s a keeper for me. Thank you for letting me vent and look forward to posting pics finally Tuesday! |

Congrats My Friend! Perhaps Something Blue? "It's a keeper for Me". Was this a typo? JUST KIDDING!

Congrats, am betting on a 011-3 ti or ti/rg, do we get a prize if we guess right? A 035-2 for example? but in any case pretty sure it's a 011-3, they look great. And good call on August in Europe, in Paris you barely have one french man left, no traffic, of course if you are going to St Tropez it's a totally different story, all french and russians are there

Thank you guys very kind of you all...tossed and turned last night. We all know that feeling. Just did the morning tracking check and shows 'arrived' in Austin. That's a good sign.
Now that PB is screwed up, resizing all pics once taken, will take a little more time, so should be up by lunch...I hope. Lapince don't worry about a prize, just stay out of the sea. Kari wants the rest of his money :-) |

The most excited I've been about an incoming that hasn't been one of my own in quite some time.
