The feeling of loneliness, the anxiety of waiting for your precious grail is some of the feelings a watch enthusiasts will have to endure. Next the anticipation of opening the gift-wrapped items.
Then, voila, the admiration of the piece one consider the "holy grail" or the ultimate "must-have" at that point of time.
It's sheer exhiliration.
Mine experience was like that too, but only from local delivery.
Imagine the piece, say, was posted on 3/11 but only reached my house on 9/11, about a week.
The anxiety and worry if the parcel was lost was there initially. But once the parcel is in my hand, I tore the outer packaging with fury just to get my hands on the piece.
Wow! That type of feeling is Precious!
