Surprise double incoming- UK

Just popped into my AD yesterday with my wife as a cold call yesterday- had a great time chatting and catching up.
My wife was trying on some watches for her first Rolex, and I couldn’t believe when he pulled an OP36 blue dial out the safe for her.
He then offered me this amazing YM 40 too so that I didn’t feel left out.
What a guy!
I think the OP36 will also spend a lot of time on my wrist!

Thanks all, really over the moon.
Can't believe how nice the yacht-master is in person. The dial is amazing and the blue second hand and writing also really stands out.
The curved lugs also really helps with wearability- wears a lot more like a 5 digit reference than the other new 6 digit references.

Congratulations, if you don't mind me asking. Which AD did you go to in the UK? I've been on the hunt for an Explorer I 36mm and have been told 24 months by the first AD I visited.

Awesome duo - the blue accents in the YM kinda go with the blue in the OP too. Many congrats!

The minute hand on the YM sort of matches the dial of the OP36, way to match each other

Gorgeous watches. I especially love the OP36. That blue dial is spectacular. Well done!

Congratulations! Good to hear of some U.K. stock. I’ve received two calls from my AD in the last month, both of which were telling me they had nothing to sell me but they haven’t forgotten. Starting to wonder if they just phone me for a laugh to see how hopeful I sound when I answer!
