Hey guys--

I just wired the money for the first watch I've ever bought off of this forum....... and I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said I wasn't nervous...

I bought the watch from Tony G. at Justrolexes... and when I called my bank to wire the money, they read me all of these warnings, etc., etc... they actually had me second guessing myself! I just can't wait to have the watch on my wrist! I know that Tony is a great guy on this forum, but to be honest, I'd be nervous spending that kind of money even at an AD... I guess it's just my personality!

I will post my wrist shot when she arrives! Thanks in advance, Tony!!

m5blitzer · 1 February 2011, 05:14 AM

Worry a little is good but once you get over this hump, you will be wiring money for your next watch in no time. Congrats and do tell us what you purchased.

car&watch · 1 February 2011, 05:15 AM

Thanks, m5blitzer!!! I got the 2T sub w/ the Silver Serti Dial! I can't wait!!! :)

George Ab · 1 February 2011, 05:18 AM

Tony is gold!

No worries...... I know easier said than done. It is a little stressful.

Congratulations the TT Sub!

Grissom · 1 February 2011, 05:20 AM

You're in good hands. I know Tony (we are kind of neighbors, in a manner of speaking), and he is 100% all the way.

You will be more than satisfied, I am sure.

Awaiting pictures!

car&watch · 1 February 2011, 05:20 AM

Thanks for the support guys... my wife is going to kill me for spending this much so as it is... which means if I ever got scammed she would REALLY kill me!

I can't wait to get it!!!! :) I have dreamed of this watch since I was a kid... (ok, I'm only 25 now)... but still, it's been a long time coming!

Dan Pierce · 1 February 2011, 05:23 AM

Always good to be prudent but Tony is one of our best, no worries.

RW16610 · 1 February 2011, 05:25 AM

Sit back, try relax and know you will soon be

when the watch arrives

You bought from a trustworthy seller and have no worries. Can not wait to see pictures of the watch

Jibba · 1 February 2011, 05:28 AM

Funny! I too just completed by first wire transfer with Tony for a DeepSea. Ive bought watches in person and with paypal, but never by wire. Speaking with Tony over the phone along with his feedback on this forum really put me at ease. Can't wait for the watch to arrive tommorrow morning. I may go to the office late so I can receive it myself. Thanks Tony and Rolex Forums!!

ArcticMoose · 1 February 2011, 05:46 AM

There is no reason to worry, speaking from experience. As soon as Tony has found the next one for me I'll be wiring more money. :-)

I wired over money to this guy not that long ago and felt just as you do...

Best thing I ever done

Hi George I have worn my Explorer II everyday since I got it hope your well

Welcome Tony........You'll be looking for your next one soon

jeremyam · 1 February 2011, 05:59 AM

your bank will send the funds, sometimes, the funds touch several 'correspondent' banks, obviously, you're dealing with a completely different company, they cannot be responsible for funds at another institution...

wires are complicated little buggers, don't worry about wiring funds, probably one of the safest methods of transferring funds.

GREAT choice! It's definitely a rare piece that you won't run into very often in the wild.

Also, Congrats! I just went through the same thing for my first watch. It's totally normal to be nervous but when you open that thing up and see the true beauty on your wrist... buyers remorse = GONE.

Rolex Freak · 1 February 2011, 06:05 AM

Rest assured that you are in good hands.

kenhiraihnl · 1 February 2011, 06:22 AM

This thread brought back memories of my watch purchase from a trusted TRF seller. FedEx always delivers packages to me around 5pm. I must be at the end of his route. I saw the FedEx truck in my neighborhood, headed to a home with the same address number as mine, but on a different street. That family sometimes gets my mail. I even found my packages in his carport after I checked on-line and saw that the package was "delivered." When I saw the truck leaving that house, I ran down to the intersection and waved him down. He stopped and handed me the large padded envelope with my BNIB GV inside. He said he delivered another package to my neighbor, and had full intentions of turning up my street to deliver my package -- no worries! We had a laugh, and I told him what was in the package. We've become good friends. Maybe reading this long story has lowered your anxiety a little. As the FedEx driver said, "No worries."

SaddleSC · 1 February 2011, 06:30 AM

Tony is the best. I trust him 1000%. I have done a few deals with him in the last few months and he is gold...no better than gold...he is platinum! Don't worry at all. Just focus all your energy into your fantastic new watch. I can't wait to see the pics.

Speed · 1 February 2011, 06:37 AM

I was scared s*itless the first time I did it.

Everytime I tell non wis friends, I get all kinds of grief.

It's just the way things are done here. I have not purchased from Tony, but know his fine rep.

Looking fwd to pix!!

Xpert37 · 1 February 2011, 06:44 AM

Dude, any trusted TRF sellers are gold. No need to worry about it mate.

psv · 1 February 2011, 06:49 AM

As everyone said, you are in stellar hands in Tony. Congrats on the new piece.

RedwinGV · 1 February 2011, 06:54 AM

I was on that same road, but quite frankly, with all the positives on Tony, I felt better than buying it from some AD's. My wife also thought I was a bit nuts sending that much cash, but I convinced her too.

So here's another post to say relax, it will show very soon! Enjoy the wait, but enjoy the unwrapping and wearing even more.

DG123 · 1 February 2011, 07:17 AM

I hope you get the watch.

We have all been there man. You just have to trust that the forum wouldn't let bad people sell here and go off of the references you have.

car&watch · 1 February 2011, 07:36 AM

Thanks guys... seriously, you have all put my mind at ease...
Well, maybe except for "DG123"... his comment I'm not too sure of!
I hope to have pics up tomorrow :)

Thanks again, fellas!

Chipmunk · 1 February 2011, 07:38 AM

A little scary at first but I miss that excitement. Congrats.

karmatp · 1 February 2011, 07:40 AM

You will be so happy once it's all done. I remember my first wire and I was really scared also, but Tony will make sure all is well. Congrats and enjoy.

MortgageGuy · 1 February 2011, 09:18 AM

you have NO worries whatsoever with Tony, I would trust him with my life

Ok that may be silly since I have never even met the man however I have done countless transactions with him and some very high dollar, he is a man of integrity, you will be 110% satisfied

: thumbsup:

Congrats, cannot wait to see some pics of your new watch

mtrunner · 1 February 2011, 09:21 AM

I was so nervous the first time I did it as well. I think it is natural to worry when you are wire transferring a boatload of money to someone! But before you know it you will have that beauty on your wrist.

indeuce · 1 February 2011, 09:42 AM

When you guys buy from these trusted sellers on TRF and receive the watch, do you take it to an AD to get it checked out and verified of its authenticity or you do you just take the seller's word?

jrssv · 1 February 2011, 09:49 AM

So what's the difference between having your wife kill you and really kill you? Just curious.
