First incoming ever!

Decided to go grey after my SA wouldn't even call me back about jewelry for my girlfriends Christmas present. Best decision ever made!

No games with grey. As long as you can swallow it, it’s the way to go.

Since when is a SS BLRO a heavy hitter? Or are my eyes fooling me and is it WG?

Maybe it’s a heavy hitter to the owner?

Why does cost have to define what’s a heavy hitter? If that were the criteria, only RM owners must have heavy hitting watches

Great choice. Time is money and AD games are just not worth the stress if you can afford it. My wife just surprised me with a lv sub. She said even being a woman and going to some ADs to explain she wanted to surprise her husband of 20 years with a gift they could care less. She said it made her a nervous wreck and gave her severe anxiety so she went gray. It’s a shame that we have to be the chosen ones to get a watch. There are many members who have no issue getting watches but 90 percent of us do. I spent 80k at an AD in watches just to get a few hot pieces. It’s not worth it to me. If I want one that bad I just go gray. You look like a Pretty new member so welcome. I think I am about to buy this same watch in the next month. Hope to be posting photos soon

Enjoy. If you're only going to have one Rolex - this may as well be it!! Then you've saved all that money on DJ, DD, YMs you'd need just to get on the W/L at an AD :-)

Wow, that's a beauty!! Congrats! Wear it in the best of health

PS: Ignore the haters. That is definitely a heavy-hitter and perhaps fits the definition of "heavy hitter" better than most. A true center-piece for any collection. May you enjoy it for many, many years.

PPS: Your shadow in the parking lot is the sign of a true WIS
