New Incoming - Finally my grail
Ever since I first tried this watch, I knew I had to have it. Took me a while to get it but I am so glad and thankful that I was finally able to get it. Best of all, wifey even liked the watch so she said, "you should get it," and at the point I knew I should get it now before she changes her mind.

The movement, the dial, the feel on the wrist is simply amazing! I opted for a strap bcz I think its less flashy and more comfortable on the wrist. Rolex really did a phenomenal job with this watch.

Chocolate dial looks great with leather strap.

Ever since I read that it is an annual calendar, I have found it a much more intriguing watch, despite its size not being appropriate for my wrist.

Enjoy it!

For me the size was perfect and yes I have found the annual calendar very intriguing as well. Honestly for the complications, this watch was surprisingly easy to set.
