Velitsko, this is your first Rolex, right? This was post 4,747 for you in 7 months, so we KNOW you have been dreaming of this day for a long time. You're right, no words CAN describe the feeling. You must be on cloud 9! CONGRATULATIONS! We all want to see some pics with that watch on your wrist and a smile on your face! Glad the one with the warranty card is fuzzy though, what's the letter and first couple numbers on the S/N? Just wondering "how new." You'll be on this site even more now!

So happy for you!

I know the feeling. For me the dream started in 1992 and came true 17 days ago.

The size of the watchcase is perfect for you, Velitsko!

But is the watch a little loosely worn??

That's great to hear! The good thing is the feeling doesn't wear off. At least not for me.
