Icon8 Of Course This Would Happen...

My 372 gets in the night before X-mas eve, right when family starts showing up. I can't make the 3 hours drive to get it until next week!!

The good news is that it's actually here though.

Congrate!!! I would drive, let them wait instead of you wait until next week and keep thinking about it. What could be better than x'mas + 372? hahaha. Btw mine was fedexed from NYB, no need to drive.

Super happy for you! For me, and yes I am a PAM fanboy, this was the best release of 2011. Not close to the most horologically important release, but the one that made me smile most. Now if I could just get one onto my wrist...

Congrats Bryan, but also commiserations that you don't have a car to take the family with you to pick up the watch.
I'd find a way....

Cheers

Bryan, I will be more than happy to go pick it up since you're tied up. Can't promise if it gets "lost" intransit. LOL Congrats buddy and upload some of those nice pics for some of us who are not as fortunate....yet.

Can you pay some one $200 to go and pick it up for you?? Busting.. I know the wait will be hard... just think of how sweet it will be when you finally strap it on!!!

Congrats again and look forward to some nice wrist shots!!!

Best,

Fred

Your joking right?

When family shows up that is the best time to take a 3 hour drive!
