Was torn between blue Milgauss, Explorer and Sub NC

I wanted a watch ‘to wear’ and possibly, but hopefully not, this may be the only Rolex I’m able to afford.

Decided on the no date - now to find one.

Looked around, went on lists - no joy.

I didn’t really want to go grey, wanted new with my name on the card, but it wasn’t looking good.

Found myself with work, in a hotel out of town. Googled any local ADs, turned out there was, literally around the corner - what did I have to lose?

Went in, told my story and asked, if despite being from out of town, I could go onto their list for the Sub.

He thought for a moment, and said “ You know, there’s one coming on the delivery this afternoon - if you want to wait and can pay now, it’s yours”

OVER THE MOON!
