My NEW Submariner

Now the question is...do I have the will power to wait until March 26 (my 50th) to open and wear it?

Yes?

No?

samuel019 · 20 March 2013, 12:23 AM

Absolutely not! Why deprive yourself?

Speed · 20 March 2013, 12:23 AM

Compromise.

Open now...wait until 3/26 to resize and wear it! ;-)

BoomerSooner · 20 March 2013, 12:26 AM

Yes, open now and admire. Wait until March 26....I guess. congrats

Chris B · 20 March 2013, 12:29 AM

Don't deny yourself just open the box, strap it to your wrist & enjoy

SeamasterGMT · 20 March 2013, 12:34 AM

Wait. Just admire it in the box and then put it on when it's your birthday.

Armyguy03 · 20 March 2013, 12:34 AM

No need to wait. I purchased my 10 year anniversary gift which isn't till 30JUL13. I plan to wear it this weekend. Congrats!!!!!!

mruhland31 · 20 March 2013, 12:50 AM

Life is way too short...open now and enjoy...congrats and Happy Birthday!!!!!!

SWISSAHOLICS · 20 March 2013, 12:50 AM

Why wait? You know it's there....you can't keep a Rolex in a box like that for another week....it needs to breathe....the metal will start to corrode because of no air circulation....ok

But seriously, the moment I get a watch, that box gets demolished....kuddos to you if you can wait another week.

fitter_happier · 20 March 2013, 01:02 AM

Would be a shame to discover any issues on the day you open it. Best to know in advance.

Brenngun · 20 March 2013, 01:08 AM

Not sure who you got it from and what the return policy is but I would open it to a least inspect it. I know as a seller I like to hear from the buyer very soon after receiving that everything is good. You can delay sizing and wearing until your birthday.

cop414 · 20 March 2013, 01:11 AM

Edwardo,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

No matter what you decide Ed I would still open it up for a real good inspection and some pictures.

Congratulations again!!

No?

Imagine how disappointed you would be if you waited to open it and found a problem. Open now and check it out to make sure everything is OK.

Get a bottle of good tequila, a shot glass. Place near box. Every time you are tempted to open the box, take a shot. Do not open box until bottle is empty. Happy Birthday!
