Many congrats, that is the way to do it! I meet many people who say, oh you have to have a huge income or be a multi-millionaire to buy a Rolex but all you need is a savings plan and discipline. Love to see threads like this.

Great! I had to pinch and save, more enjoyable to know I did it on my own!

They seem to be in low quantities. In NL I tried two ADs and they didn't want to get a name on the list saying it was taking too long. It's a common watch, but at the same time it's still hard to find in stock.

Anyway, good choice. I'm waiting for that exact same model (might take up to a month and a half according to the seller).

The forum crowd always likes stories about saving to get what you wanted. Shows some discipline and patience, plus that anyone can have it if you really want it and work for it.

Congrats and wear it in good health

In august I spent one day in barcelona, ​​most AD have a subc on display there.
It is very strange, in some regions there seems to be a greater demand.
I wish you a quick delivery!
