!!! 250 grams of INCOMING !!!

After I finished all of my meetings on Monday, I strolled along Fifth Avenue before getting on a plane to come back to Los Angeles. I found myself in front of Wempe, maybe not so much of an accident. And after trying on a couple pieces, my salesperson said "I think I know the right one." Between the weight and the feel, it must have been no more than ten seconds before I said "It's mine."

LOVE LOVE LOVE this piece. I went in thinking I'd pick up a new DayDate if they had in stock, but I much prefer the larger 41mm size which they could source for me if I gave them some time. I'm impulsive and did not want to leave empty handed.

The clasp on the Sky-Dweller is different, not sure if anyone has noticed. But it has the look of a fold down locking clasp (if that's what it's called) but it's actually all one piece.

Anywho, enjoy! Don't mind the mismatched box, etc. Didn't realize Sky-dweller box was much larger and left behind at my place in NY.

Enjoy :)

WOW .. HUGE HUGE CONGRATS!!!!!

Very happy to see this ... not very common or popular in the forum. I have owned this model for little more than a year now and the honeymoon period is not over yet.

Enjoy ... and post plenty of pics ... and here is a link to the official thread:
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...268827&page=16

Let's revive this thread and have some fun!!!



Mine says hi ...

Thank you everyone! It's a stunning piece that I find to be very humble, yet stunning and eye catching at the same time.

One of my favorite case and dial combos... until the next purchase haha.
