Incoming BIG

I have rarely seen this watch in real life and it is absolutely beautiful! I am super stoked!

I thought nothing comes close in regards to beauty compared to the Sub but this one definitely something special!

This one for me is even more special and perfect to the point with a fully screwed upright crown!

Congratulations! The crown point is always something that’s really niggled me about Rolex’s manufacturing - for such a dominant feature. Completely luck of the draw as to where it will sit.

Same! Its fortunate and unfortunate IMO. It's never really bothered me and kind of makes each one "unique". But after seeing this one with an upright crown, its just so much more pleasing to the eye.

Congratulations. I'm surprised, the blue still looks very purple on that second picture. My understanding is colours were improved by now (mk3).

It's very strange but the purple is almost non existent to the human eye. It turns purple under camera for reason! Its definitely Navy (almost black).

Couldn't you wind the watch and figure out where to "place" it so that it would always be upright?

P.S. Congratulations!
