YOLO incoming 228206

So I had this crazy idea that I shared with you guys a few weeks back.
What if I sold some watches and got my self “my” ultimate grail.
Most of you guys approved and a little disapproved. I was 100% sure I wanted to do this.
Sold all 6 watches together to a well known dealer here in the UK. And started to shop around and got a good idea about prices here in London .
when I saw that DavidSW offered a mint diagonal motif dial day date 40 I knew it was destined for me !
This is my probably 7 Rolex purchase , first time with an independent seller.
Guys David is the man ! I shall never buy from an AD again.
I made the call, I took us less than 2 minutes to strike a deal I was happy as was he. Wired the money and less than 48 hours later the FedEx parcel was in my house.
Thanks man I appreciate all your help , you are one of a kind

Love this piece! Congrats!
Just saw one down in Florida last week and it was gorgeous.
I've bought a ton over the years from DSW, he makes it too easy!
