I did visit most of Hong Kong Islands Rolex AD’s (there are a ton of them) to talk and understand more about my choice (of course whilst wearing a mask). Most said my desired model was not available but about a week later I got the call and it was just a great experience to pick the watch up.

Have been wearing it everyday and am still in the honeymoon phase plus hoping to add a few more references over time.

Looking forward to comparing notes with everyone here.
congrats

did your watch "fever" go down after the Exp 1 or did you just get even "sicker" LOL!!

What a wonderful piece, looks great on your wrist!! Congratulations, and perfect selection for a 1st Rolex... elegant, refined, sophisticated, masculine, versatile. Perfect for every occasion: sport, dress, or anywhere between. Something you could wear to a black-tie event, works on a tux, but works with jeans too or casual khakis. Superbly legible, with distinct and beautiful lume to match. Overall look is subdued, but still distinctly Rolex. Perfect blend of case and bracelet. Superbly quality clasp with EZ-link integration, so convenient for the HK humidity and hot weather. Tried and true movement that can take a'beating and keep on' licking.

I think I might have just convinced myself to get one too!!
