Finally got another 116610LV after waiting 4 months

Patience paid off!

I was close to buying one on here for $13k, but after receiving the call one day earlier this month while at work from my AD in Las Vegas (I’m in San Francisco Bay Area)... I quickly read them my cc #!

Keep in mind, I’ve bought from this AD before but I made an effort to stop in & say a quick hello every Vegas trip, which is typically every few months or so.

Way to stick with it and not pay over retail. How's it feel on the wrist, a keeper?

I had one before (sold around Summer 2017) as I thought I didn’t like it enough to keep it.. but a few months after I sold it and bought a few other pieces, I soon realized I wanted another one.

I initially asked the AD I bought my first Hulk from (from NYC), to see if he can get me another, he couldn’t as the market has drastically changed as we all know.

With no luck from my AD in NYC, I reached out to my usual AD in Las Vegas, NV to try my luck as I read on here, around the holiday season, Rolex tends to release more pieces to ADs (not sure if verified or not), to see if she can allocate me a Hulk (as I never purchased a SS from her, but I bought a 36mm DJ a few years ago), she said she can’t promise any time frame, which I expected, but waited anyway... I’m glad I did in the end!

Now I’m on her list for a BLNR also now. :)

It’s usually a nice getaway for the weekend. :)
