New guy here

Hi Guys!

I was missing some of my old friends and Atomic said I should stop by here. I guess since I'm getting this whenever the FedEx guy shows up today, I can legitimately post on the Rolex forum.

Hey Sam. I'm waiting for the Fedex man to bring me a Rolex too, but I figure I gotta wait until the twelfth of never. I think I'll head down to the non Rolex group and introduce myself.

Sam, when you put that one on you will be amazed at how comfortable is really is!! Taken it from a guy who has owned most every Rolex, that one is the most comfortable on the wrist for sure!! Enjoy it pal!!

Let me add my welcome to TRF, Sam. Nice pic. I guess if you couldn't go with the black/black GMT-II, the EXP is the next best thing. Enjoy it and wear it well.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! The FedEx guy finally showed up this afternoon.

Here's a couple quick snaps.

You're right Daren...very comfy!

rockrolex...I originally was looking for a black bezel GMT II, but stumbled on an unbelievable deal for this black EXPII. I couldn't resist!

As long as you got the black dial EXP, Sam, I won't complain too much. But, really, how can you pass on this beauty?

Rock....

There's still a place in my heart for that black bezel GMT II. There's no way that I can justify having both the GMTII and EXPII. Let me rephrase that....there's no way my WIFE can justify me having both!

Warren...

Don't know how long it would take to come from the Canary Islands....mine came from Boston.

I understand, Sam. I just thought I'd rub it in.
