Been following this all day. I’m going to be seriously disappointed if the store doesn’t come through for you

Ok, very good...

I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Weather? Temp? Bariatric pressure? ()

2 SS Sub Dates, 1 TT blue Sub, 1 YG blue Sub, 1 TT black GMT, 1 AK, some OPs, etc.

SA said they are getting another shipment on Tuesday, their Rolex rep suggested it might be even better than the last. I guessed Pepsi or Batman....

[edit] Forgot to add, TT Daytona with gold bezel and black dial IIRC.

Here we go!

Spent about an hour in the store talking watches with the SA. Also ended up buying a white gold tennis bracelet for my wife. Win win for both of us.

Very surprised they had two sub dates in the case as well. If you’re interested it might be worth calling them, ask for Scott Carpenter.

A few quick pics before i get back on the road.

Ahhhh. Well done!

So glad it all worked out for you.

This will be a trip to remember.

Take it in with a beverage once you get home.

Safe travels.

LOL, my daughter is 2 now and I wouldn't be allowed to do this.

At least she has no issues with my horology affair.

Congrats on the SD43! Great road trip!
