Got the call I've been waiting for.

So today was the day I got the call to say my first Rolex is going to be available for collection next week.

To say I was surprised was an understatement. I had prepared myself for a long wait and resisted reminding the sales advisor as I didn't want to come across pushy and impatient.

Having waited only 2 months I'm going to be the proud owner of a Yachtmaster 40 in the next week or so.

CAN NOT WAIT!!

Thank you everyone. I'm buzzing. I'll post pics as soon as it lands on my wrist. I've luckily not had to wait all that long. I couldn't imagine how excited some might get if they've had to wait a year or 2.

By the way, I fully appreciate this thread is mage boring without pics of said watch!...

Very nice, congratulations. I wonder if the flippers are starting to pass on watches in the UK? Either way good for you.

Looks much better in the day light than in the showroom. Absolutely chuffed to pieces.
