Icon15 Finally I got the call and inventory info in SF Rolex

It’s been a while since I first visited this forum and also this is my first post here. Today I got the call and bought my first Rolex watch in my life. I still cannot believe I got it! Shout out to the people who keep posting knowledgeable posts as I certainly learned a lot here.

Also, If you are in San Francisco and wanted to buy Rolex, I see they quite have a few in the store today, including one steel 41 blue dial DJ with oyster bracelet and smooth bezel, sky dweller two tone, and some two tone date just. (Please ask for SA Pinyi and tell her Luke referred if you managed to buy your dream piece there haha)

I think market is definitely cooling down and hopefully we all can get dream pieces.

wondered what SF meant

well done.

those models you mention are relatively easy to get now, as long as one is not too picky about colourway

Congrats on your new Sub Date, Luke! That is a killer first watch. Currently my favorite and most worn from my small collection.

Since you're in SF, you should check out HQ Milton sometime if you want to be blown away with some vintage watches.

It was your turn. Market is not coming down.
