Well isnt this almost spooky, a couple of minutes after my post earlier worried about 'the list' I got a call letting me know that my BLACK BAY 58 had arrived! No games here and they were very professional.

Just arrived! Very happy indeed. Photos cannot do justice to how amazingly finished this watch is. Size-wise, it is 100% perfection, and although I'll probably be putting it on a strap soon, the bracelet is the most comfortable I've ever worn. Can't quite believe you can get this much watch for what I paid.
Happy new watch day Charlie ::psy:: isnt this nice how we got them on the same day!

Looks great, happy to hear you like the bracelet too. Told you it was killer 馃槈

Thanks. And congrats on finally getting your hands on the BB58. Told you not to worry! Any first impressions?

First impression is that it wears incredibly. And while driving back to the hotel I noticed how the gilt details on the dial sparkled beautifully. Cant believe I go it already, need to "land" a bit 馃榿

Congratulations!!!
Thank you buddy! 馃槑

I can also report that today I finally got to see the Blck Bay 36 and 41 in silver. Very disappointing. I threw holy water on them, spit in the sales person's face and raised the Ice King in the air. Fascinating how silver dials can be so different.

I am pretty friendly with an associate at my Rolex AD. This is a text I received from him today. Lol

So i pulled the trigger on the Aquaracer CAY111A from a different seller. Actually a jewerly shop here on Long Island. The store did not have it yet but had pictures of it in hi res. Very nice looking pre owned. Serial number checked out. The price i could not pass up was $700.00 cash. Had to leave a small deposit. I was going back and forth on it but the store offers 21 days money back. Even though the serial number is registered i will have enough time to take it to get it inspected internally to make sure it is legit.

Fear not, I am sure I will soon have a couple of hundred photos of it 馃榾 Rob has also asked me to send daily photos so he can feed his BLACK BAY obsession 馃憤

I have noticed however that the 58 is a tough one to photograph. I look at my wrist and see this amazingly sexy thing. Then I look at the photo and it looks dull. Not the most photogenic watch combined with me lacking some true photography skills 馃榿
