5167/1a is here!

It seems that there are numerous posts per week now about consolidating into something bigger. I did just that and sold two Rolexes to get this Aquanaut.

Zero regrets and i can’t get this smile off my face wearing this on rubber strap. Had the stainless band removed and rubber installed this morning and cut it to size. It’s perfection!

Congrats! The rubber is of course iconic but I am one of the few who also likes that watch on the bracelet. It feels like a whole other watch and makes it more under the radar.

Congratulations it’s a beauty

To be clear, you have the bracelet and the rubber strap options?

What two Rolex did you sell off?

Always easy on moda as long as you do your reference check. Purchased probably close to 10 watches off moda

That's how online buying works, you always pay first then you wait by the mailbox for your goods.

How do you usually buy your watches? If only at an AD, online buying probably is not for you
