Rollover Worries - 401k to Gold IRA Timeline & Pitfalls?

Finally pulled the trigger on rolling over a good chunk of my old 401k into a Platinum IRA, and frankly, I'm a little antsy about the timeline. For years, I just let that 401k sit, watching the market rollercoaster. With the bourbon industry being about as old-school as it gets, the idea of having something tangible and enduring, like platinum, really resonates. My previous employer's 401k had about $380k in it, and I decided to move about half of it – around $190k – over to platinum. I'm based here in Lexington, so I'm not exactly short on appreciation for things that last.

I initiated the direct rollover about two weeks ago, and while the custodian assured me it'd be relatively quick, I haven't seen the platinum in my account yet, nor have I gotten definitive confirmation of the transfer's completion. Is this normal? My main concern is hitting that 60-day window if it were an indirect rollover, but since it's a direct one, I think I'm safe from the tax implications. Still, the waiting game is nerve-wracking. I've always been more comfortable with the immediate satisfaction of a perfectly aged single barrel, not this nebulous financial waiting period.

Has anyone else here done a similar rollover with platinum or gold recently? What was your experience with the timeline? Any red flags I should be looking out for, beyond just impatience? I chose a company that came highly recommended, especially for precious metals IRAs, so I'm hoping it's just my own anxiety bubbling up. Just trying to make sure I'm not overlooking anything crucial. Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Trying to sleep easy knowing my legacy assets are secured.
