Hi All,

I thought I’d share my latest acquisition… picked up yesterday from my AD after a 3-4month wait.

When seeing the pictures online when released, I originally had no desire. Fast forward to the end of last year when I saw the exhibition model - and I completely changed my mind. The colours and contrast leave me in awe - especially how they change under different lighting.

As delighted as I am, I did try on the white gold Yachtmaster on my way out, wow that’s nice too!... this hobby never gets easier

Congrats.

Wearing my 126715 today and like you even though full PM when I saw it online it wasnt high on my want list.

Then I saw it in the flesh after being offered to me by my A D and I was smitten. Bought it on the spot and it has became hands down of one of my favorites. Definitely in my top 3 of all time.

Congrats again. Well done

Wow in that timeframe unreal!

The TT Rootbeer is the best TT watch Rolex make IMO & in person it looks even better.

Agreed - never thought I’d be a TT person, but completely sold on this.

Timeframe was fantastic to be fair. My AD have really looked after me since my first purchase in 2019. Rolex, Tudor and Omega - they know I collect, and have seen me wearing pieces after a few years so know I’m genuine.

I'd argue that this is the best two-tone ref. in the current catalogue...
Huge congratulations.
