Incoming grail !!
It all began with a text message from my SA on April 4th letting me know that they were receiving a 116500ln white Daytona. However, the problem was that I wouldn’t be able to pick it up until the store opened back up. Not knowing how long this would take, I did everything possible in order to make myself distracted from having finally the watch of my dreams.
As the time went on, things only got worse with the pandemic and I did not see and end to this since they kept pushing back the reopening dates. With everything going on I became aware that there are way more important things to be concerned about during tough times like these. Fast forward to 4 days ago and finally after a super long wait I received my all-time grail!!! I am also lucky to have received the older guaranty card since having my name on it gives it a more sentimental value in my opinion. |

Thanks! I have a tiny 6inch wrist. I feels a lot better than a GMT II. It wraps better around your wrist in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Amazing! I really wish Rolex could make them more available so people could really appreciate them. It was actually my first time that I see it in person and all I can tell you is that it looks way better than in pictures! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So I do have a purchase history with this family owned AD, nothing crazy but a few pieces in the last few years. My advice is to build a strong relationship with smaller ADs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats! I understand how you had to distract yourself from the thought of it. My AD contacted me 1 month prior to the Rolex delivery to tell me that my watch will be coming in.
