Congrats again.

I was hoping you would be the one who started this thread. Very fitting. Will keep checking this thread on a regular basis as I may very well end up joining this club in the future.

I must admit, I was a bit concerned how I'd like it with dress clothes due it's sporty look IMO. I'm no longer concerned.....

Looks great with the crisp white dress shirt! Also, loved the outdoor pics yesterday in natural light. I'd love to see some more shots from other angles besides straight on if you have the time. Trust me, you can't post enough pics!

really great pic, thanks. i agree, i was unsure how the black ceramic/black rings/white dial would look with a shirt & tie. in fact, that was one reason i was leaning so heavily towards the more uniform black. but, it seems to be quite nice indeed.

Looks so crisp with white shirt. Black onyx cuffs would heroically finish that look.

Congratulations on being the first on here that we know of. Wear it in good health, and enjoy showing that one off!

I'm on the ever changing waiting list, supposed to be #3 maybe #4. I was given a warning that it's 1 year right off the bat, and no more than 1 year for me though!

Why the long delay between the first and then next shipment? Getting impatient.

You are a man with good taste! My daughter bought me some black onyx a month ago in anticipation of this watch bc she saw it on my screen saver. My really nice all white with French cuffs was at cleaners. Next time.....

Haha, thank you, brother. Look forward to that and in the mean time a pic of my ceramic version with matching MB cuffs.

I am but a lowly dung beetle in the Rolex hierarchy who owns an old fashioned 16520 Zenith and I hope, as such, you will not berate me for entering this highly desirable club.

Quick question - would any of you consider replacing the standard Oyster bracelet with a Jubilee. I think it would really enhance the appearance of what is an already classy looking watch.

I shall now slink off

Yours in awe and jealousy

Your hurting me! I just called my guy that has everything and can usually get anything.
It appears there are now 2 more people on the list and he promises me we will have ours this October/November.
Our dealer says you have one of 4 in existence in the world, however true that is.
Awesome piece, wear it in good health!
