INCOMING!! The journey is over..
I get it. It has been a frustrating few years for many Rolex collectors since popular sports models were basically unobtanium from ADs and secondary prices above my pay-grade. AD/Boutiques alike are profit focused entities and while some have gone off rails, some have remained fair, outstanding, transparent and absolutely stand-up. In my quest to remain patient, I have to admit I almost gave it up despite a reasonable purchase history. Still, being positive and keeping the eyes on the stars... prevailed after all!
Well, after a 4+ years wait for one and 2+ year wait for the other, somehow the stars were aligned and the waiting journey finally ended this week. Any 1 of these birds can be a collector's blessing or curse since it is hard to get better than this.. 2 of these beauts in one week is just hard to express in words.. out of this world! Just super thankful to my AD/boutique for being such great chaps and kudos to them for helping me end this journey right here.. this is IT! For all of you still waiting, keep the optimism and hope going

Congratulations, Fred! This is a great chronograph duo! An excellent choice with the black. I think it's the better dial option!

Congrats and welcome to the club. It certainly does feel like the “end all” watch!
Did you have a choice for either dial colour? I also have the black dial and I’m completely in love with it. |

Congratulations Fred. I'm waiting on the Snoopy call also. At least I know there is one fewer person in front of me.
