Got lucky at Rolex Schiphol Amsterdam.
Really friendly boutique manager Bob.
Asked for it specifically and said yes he’s just had one in.

Straight up no BS (a bit like the watch). First come first serve.
Tried to open communication for further purchases in the future, outright said no, first come first serve. All stickers removed and no watchmaker to remove the links. Now time to visit my regular AD (who’s kept me waiting 18 months for this piece) to see if he’ll oblige.

Nonetheless time for me to enjoy what will be my dress down travel watch.

I do too, minor detail changes made for a vast improvement.

Flat white of the dial is so fresh and so clean.

Can I get an explorer flat white please?

ElusiveOne · 27 March 2022, 08:23 PM

Wow, well done! I got the back dial on Friday after a lucky 2-week wait. My second piece in the brand! Love the dimensions, not big at all for a 42mm. The lume is something special though!

TswaneNguni · 27 March 2022, 08:29 PM

One of Rolex's finest white dials .

Place it next to a ss white Daytona and the Daytona seems very small .(I have both)

Enjoy !

Harry-57 · 27 March 2022, 08:42 PM

Congratulations nice pick up.
Was the watch in display case or did you ask and he brought it from the back?

dduranceau · 28 March 2022, 02:56 AM

Congratulations!

RoRoRo · 28 March 2022, 03:36 AM

Thanks all folks. It’s a nice incoming because it has no shininess to it and doesn’t flash in the face.

Sporty and cool

The black dial was on display and I said I’d like to try it on but would like the white dial ideally.

He let me try it on and then said I’ll go check if we have one. Then pulled one out.

Congrats! Walk in, buy. As it should be.
