Another Rolex Boutique visited! This time I bought something...

Damn it!

I gotta stop with the habit of visiting Rolex Boutiques because I keep getting in trouble!

This time I stopped by the Boutique in Nassau, and walked out with none other than "Deep Blue"!



While I was doing the paperwork, there were at least 3 other people who stopped by to ask for the "James Cameron" Rolex, and honestly I didn't expect them to have it since I've been looking for it for months, but I'm glad they did and I was able to work out a small discount for it.

By the way, they had tons of watches there, they had a Hulk, several Yachtmaster Models, several Daytona models, many submariners, Yachtmaster II in all combinations, etc.

I was very surprised at the large stock they had.

I knew it was going to be big but I was still surprised by the weight. It feels close to my Yellow Gold YM II. It is definitely big and "thick" so I understand why it doesn't work for a lot of people, but I like big watches and they don't bother me.

Great watch and the Boutique in Nassau is amazing. I was very suprised if I saw the lot of various models last year

Didn't see any in display but they had more in the safe. The display had no more space!
