[INCOMING] Walked in white and left with a little more red

Last minute wedding gift shopping with the fiance, after some items at Tiffany for her, decided to pop-over to a random local Rolex AD. Timing, luck, genuinely nice salesman, lucky day?

....I inquired about the new 2017 SD (not in any display case but thought couldn't hurt to ask) He smiled, opened up the safe and wished us the best of luck and congratulations. I couldn't ask for a more perfect wedding gift from my better half for our special day next week.

Loved the white Daytona and lucky to own, but Subs/SDs have always been my WIS love, coming back to the collection after every flip from Subs, DSSD, AP, ALS, PP...now this beauty. Saying good bye to the Daytona (for now) for someone else to cherish, but am beyond smitten with no regrets. Missed my bezel, date, and ability to read a watch easily during the day-even more so being able to read the time at night

Sorry for the quick dirty pics but wants to share






Classic Steering Wheel was a must to match red dials and seat belts

Congrats on both accounts, the pictures somehow don't show, but great watch nonetheless!

Congrats! You need to fix the pics!

Separate question, but based on your signature, what inspired you to sell your watches and just have one watch?
