My YG 1803 Day-Date should be coming soon from the Dallas Rolex repair center. As some members may remember, I inherited the watch from a friend that passed away earlier this year. It was the first Rolex timepiece I ever encountered as a young man and it was left to me by a man I admired greatly for his entrepreneurial genius and his unprecedented sense of humor. I will feel I am celebrating his life ever time I wear it...

You're the most patient man I ever know for being on TRF and waited for so long to purchase your firs Rolex, it's not easy. But you nailed it with Root beer for sure

Not a Rolex but omega fans might recognize this box. It’s going under the tree so I’ll have to wait a bit longer to enjoy it.

I recognize that oversize box, talk about the excitement of a kid at Christmas having to wait.

No Rolex for me this year. My Christmas present came in March and is parked in the driveway.

Great Post. I showed my wife the Thread and the cartoon caption, but I feel she's not having it yet....

Maybe she will bend to the stick..? (from the movie Hoodlum)

However Congrat's on all of you who are getting one! I'm very happy for all of you and thanks for posting pics!

Been hoping to get a BLNR before Xmas... no luck yet and starting to think it may never come. I wonder if these AD "lists" are smoke and mirrors (even though they say I am in top 5)...

I'm not sure if this has been posted here before, but listen to the first verse. I like the modified lyrics.

Pending the current controversy, this wasn't posted to offend anyone.

I'm one of the lucky ones too. My wife bought me this for my birthday, which falls on the 26th.....my 50th Birthday nonetheless. So technically a Christmas/birthday gift.

Unfortunately it's been gifted wrapped for a month and haven't been able to wear it.....it's literally KILLING ME looking at a box for the past 4+ weeks. Less then two more weeks left.

I'm so pumped.....it will be my second Rolex. The other being my 45th B-day gift....my grail SubC; which I waited for since my teenage years.

Probably will be my last Rolex until my 55th; which will be a Zenith Daytona.

A blessed holiday to all that make this forum so GREAT to participate in!

Still hopefully waiting for that last minute Rolex delivery to the AD. But in the meantime sold a few Rolex's and got an AP.
