Icon20 Picking up my first Rolex tomorrow!

I joined this forum 4 years ago to learn about these amazing time pieces.

My goal was to become debt free and pay cash for the Rolex.

Everything lined up this past December 2019 and I placed an order with my local AD.

In light of everything that has happened this year, I was so surprised to receive a text starting my Rolex is here and ready for pickup!

Tomorrow is the big day!

Will I be able to sleep tonight?

I’ll post delivery pics tomorrow. Until then, feel free to guess what I ordered.

That’s so awesome. I remember buying my first. I drove 2 hours to San Francisco, got a window tint ticket as soon as i pulled in, couldn’t care less. Congrats on the newest addition.

Congrats. Let us know if your watch was from a recent shipment from RUSA in NYC. That would be great news also.

I also got my first call, like you, during this weird time. However, I got my call in April during the hardcore lockdown. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to pick it up, so I got the FedEx delivery experience. Excited to do an instore pick up once I'm ready for my next piece.

In life, the journey is as exciting as the destination. Love the excitement a delivery day generates, wether it’s a watch a car or whatever it is.
Congrats.
