    On welcoming another watch?

    A package slip arrived today, so off to the mail centre and quickly back home, and ready for the opening

    Lovely! Well packed and I can see the Ω on the box.

    A frantic scrabbling with tape and bubble wrap, and then the ceremonial opening awaits

    AND THEN THE SHOCK AND HORROR :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    An EMPTY F*KN BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I not really understanding, am I dreaming?

    After my heart resumed beating, and like a demented chicken plucker, I pulled the rest of the pods and paper out of the box and noticed another bubble wrap bundle that had slipped through the packing to the bottom.

    I repeated the frantic unwrapping and immediately the world turned from dark grey to “Over the Rainbow” again.::jumpy::

    And a quick wrist shot.

    I’m off to enjoy it (Whew!!)

    Cheers

    Yes, usually too excited that any plan to document the unboxing will not materialize :p

    It didn't start like that, but after I'd had a good laugh it was too good an opportunity to pass up for a thread.

    Sort of opposite to the post by knozkhi :D

    And it also came with this:

    I would have freaked out and dumped the package without finding the watch. Great buy.
