Sorry, it's the same watch but I forgot to take it out when I took a picture.

But I do have 2 RG Day-Date with Olive dial, one for me and one for my spouse.

Gorgeous incoming!! Congrats to you Jay!! Between your Meteorite and this new one, you have the best examples of the Pepsi GMT, both a must-have. Now my turn, the hunt begins, the downside of loving this Forum, it never ends!!

Thankyou :)

Actually I think I have ended with Rolex now there’s no other models I Desire to own that I don’t already… I mean apart from possibly one of the original white gold sky dwellers I used to say “why the hell would you pay all that money for something that looks the same as steel” my tastes have evolved and changed alot. I totally get white gold now. Although my preference is yellow.

Which one are you looking for?

My Pepsi on jubilee was expected to be delivered by the end of year, never owned one, but my AD only received half of his allocation this past year. The meteorite is really singing to me, I will make two strong offers to two of my AD's upon arrival. My main AD has only received one since they have been released. My buddy has been an SA at the other AD for over 20 years, he is working on the dealer principal on my behalf, he will be rewarded extremely well if he can make it happen, and I have one other AD to make a cold call on next week, I have a good buddy who will introduce me to the dealer principal, he is a big spender there. I know I will need to dig deep for the meteorite, I'm not next on anyone's list, regardless of going through an AD, there are others in front of me waiting for the same dial. Time to get creative again. I've never seen one in the flesh, but it's just so different, it's striking.

It’s totally different in the flesh. You really can’t get a photo of it. If you like it that much in photos honestly you’ll love it 100x more in real life. Make it happen :)

That's what I'm afraid of, I will make it happen. I learned from Richard, Time vs Money, I choose time. I will update My Forum Friends as I get closer to pulling the trigger, based on one landing. Thanks Jay!!

Not sure if this was meant to be humour? But there’s plenty on the market if you want to go and buy one.

You're right.

From the picture, some people might think it was WG with olive dial.

Many people always said that YG Day-Date is the must have in Rolex collection. I love both YG and RG, I might add YG D-D later if the opportunity arise.
