Here is my new baby compliments of my friend Mr. Andrew Shear--one of my favorite 3 watch hunters--along with Eric Ku and Jed aka Jedly1 of course!! A rare and very hard to find mint chocolate thin case. This one will enjoy a lot of wrist time(along my Mk3 from my friend Jed)! Thanks Andrew--you are the man!! HAGWE all!!!

It's absolutely beautiful Ken, many congratulations

YetiBiker · 3 June 2011, 08:31 PM

All you need now is the beach, Jimmy Buffet, a Pina Colada, Mrs. Ken applying some SPF 50 on your back, and you are set my friend!!

Enjoy that sexy thing!!

HL65 · 3 June 2011, 08:35 PM

Nice one Kenneth.

oceandweller · 3 June 2011, 09:04 PM

Congratulations, it is a rare and beautiful example beyond description and of course, 'This one will enjoy a lot of wrist time', till another rare one is hunted down.

PhilM · 3 June 2011, 09:04 PM

Wow I'm smiling at that one and it's not even mine, enjoy Ken as it's a fantastic looking example

Grumpy Badger · 3 June 2011, 09:08 PM

Chocolate/tropical dials don't normally do it for me but that is VERY nice!

HL65 · 3 June 2011, 09:09 PM

Beautiful colour mate, never seen anything like that!!

Jason71 · 3 June 2011, 10:06 PM

Just when I thought your collection couldn't get any better.........

A big congrats Ken!!!

Frogman4me · 3 June 2011, 10:11 PM

What a dream, I got the sneak peak yesterday and I still can't get over how great of an example that is. Chocolate DRSD thin case unpolished and mint condition, what a rare bird! Congrats Ken.

DiamondJack · 3 June 2011, 10:14 PM

Wow Ken.....

Another absolutely incredible and outstanding piece. Veeeerrrryyy Nice

If I was lucky to have her, you know she would be straight onto a matching brown Croc or Ostrich ABP stap with stitching to match either the creamy patina... or red writing .....probably double stitched to emphasise the double red

But I can only dream - for now!!!

Esexx · 3 June 2011, 10:29 PM

Amazing stuff Ken. You have one hell of a collection!

HL65 · 3 June 2011, 10:32 PM

Thanks guys!! Very thankful to have found her!! Again- all Andrew as he is one heck of a hunter!! I am just lucky enough to give her a good home!

conrail · 3 June 2011, 10:34 PM

Wow - amazing dial Ken! What is a "thin case" DRSD?? (apart from what I think is the obvious haha, in which case I didn't know the case thickness varied?)

SPARTAN2161 · 3 June 2011, 10:38 PM

What a great dial! Congrats!!!

Michael M. · 3 June 2011, 11:42 PM

Huge congrats! Amazing piece, hopeful someday I'll get one! Love the dial! BTW: is you don't find yourself wearing the MK3 often, i'll be glad to have you send it to me

WouterN · 3 June 2011, 11:50 PM

Ken, congrats on this great addition! A true stunner and masterpiece!

onkyo · 4 June 2011, 12:02 AM

Amazing chocolate dial.....

Congrats on the score Ken!

swish77 · 4 June 2011, 12:09 AM

Absolutely amazing!! And yes, what does "thin case" mean?

Beaumont Miller II · 4 June 2011, 12:12 AM

Ken that is a very rare watch indeed... thin, MkII, and a pristine chocolate dial. You have the talent for not only finding the best examples of rare vintage Rolex watches, but also for adding them to your incredible collection. Many congratulations on a stunning addition to your collection.
