Wasn’t even on my radar...
Got an unprompted and unexpected call from my AD and was offered two watches, the Hulk, which I already have and turned down, and this one.
Honesty hadn’t even considered this watch until she offered it to me and I did a quick read on it. Had it shipped to save on taxes, and was pleased when I picked it up and saw it in person. Got it in December but only just now brought it to my AD for sizing. All I can say, is, STUNNING. It really is elegant and I was a bit worried it would be too bulky and big on my small wrist, but it’s not. In fact, it’s actually quit comfortable. The AD gave me a quick tutorial, but I’ll have to UTube it and watch a couple of times before it really sinks in. The Blue dial really pops too... |

You stumbled on one of the rarest Rolex pieces that is by some estimates, the #1 most desirable Rolex watch right now. Outside of the Rolex brand, some would prefer that even over the Patek Nautilus. My AD said that he's only seen 1 of these in almost a year. Nicely done, sir

I would have done a backflip if I was offered both. That’s almost unheard of

Congrats! This watch is very popular. I don’t quite get it yet. I need to do some research on it to see why such a following. I’m sure it helps to try it on!

Looks great. I didn't care much for the Sky-Dweller when it was launched, but it's has grown on me.

Thanks all for the comments. Yes, feeling very fortunate, and at the same time, very silly that I didn’t realize how hot this watch is. I’m a huge Rolex guy and currently have all the hard to get ones, at least I thought so, until I read up on this one. Having said all that, I’m still waiting on the Daytona SS with face with Ceramic. It’s an elusive one, hope to get the call soon...I have the the Daytona SS back Ceramic to hold me over until the white face arrives.

It's a nice watch, I enjoyed it for a bit. Does your AD still have the hulk? I've been looking for months.
