Nothing compares to the greatness of the 5522 as you probably know. It’s a great piece though it hasn’t left my wrist since I picked it up.

Our timings are identical. I got my name on the list the same day it was announced and I finally got to bring it home today. There is a little more to the story here.......https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=638298

She came back to work today.

I think the over all watch market is softening and these crazy unobtainable watches are now more and more available. Your story proves that true.
