Oh how long the minutes are waiting for the FedEx guy.
As close to Christmas morning we watch enthusiast get as a adult.
Yea, I guess I have to disclose my last 5 months of strategy in working with a few watch friends in a new Rolex acquisition. I have been keeping this a close secret from the forum but many might guess what watch it is by my glowing comments when this watch comes up in a thread. I have had this watch on my radar since Baselworld 2018 but I can’t and won’t be price gouged. 30 years with Rolex and normally it would have taken a few weeks to get a hot Rolex watch but in these times I really had to work with my contacts. I detest the current Rolex climate but love the Rolex watch so I am left as a watch enthusiast in a very difficult place like most. Either not buy or work my azz off for the privilege of spending a lot of money on a luxury watch. Able to purchase at (or very close) to msrp on this new one. That’s a major victory as we all know. New incoming and boxing thread later today. |

Almost as bad as waiting for the refrigerator repairman, as my son is doing.

Must be the DSSD JC. If so, great choice. My ad said they have only received one this whole year.

Yes congrats are in order. I have the original model and put it on a Rubber B strap which is wider than the bracelet and supports the watch well. It's a beautiful watch, that's for certain.
