My first Rolex and SOTC

Got the call yesterday. I immediately jumped in the car and went to my AD. Here it is my first Rolex and the state of the collection :)

There must be a great deal more to this story. You have a couple of interesting but not necessarily "valued" watches and then the grail AP and now the grail Rolex. Clearly something else is going on behind the scenes.

whoa! How long were you waiting?

In all seriousness, the black ss Daytona is seriously underrated. It is super sleek IRL.

I put my name on the list a year ago and after countless visits to the AD I've created a good relationship with them. I guess this is the most effective way to get these hard to get sportmodels, even when you've never bought from them before. And maybe a bit of luck too :)
