New Rolex Owner

Got a really great deal on a pre-owned Datejust from a friend of my parents who is a dealer in Kentucky. I've been contemplating a purchase for a long time and she got me a price I couldn't pass up. It has some light wear on it so she is polishing it for me this week and I'm going to pick it up in a few days. I'm so excited to finally own my first Rolex, even though it is not new, I think I'll be just as happy with it.

Didn't mean to upset you and I agree, the watch is more important then the box.

Oh, you didn't. I was just kidding around. It's hard to convey sarcasm when you're typing.

Enjoy, it looks great. I love the Tapestry dail. I have a 16234 with the tapestry dail, on an oyster bracelet, and fluted bezel.
