Major Incoming! (First Rolex)
As a first time Rolex enthusiast (and soon to be addict), I convinced myself on going the traditional AD route and building a relationship. As many would imagine, I've been patiently waiting on a call for a GMT almost all year (purchased a DJ for the lady), with little luck so far.

During this waiting game, I was blessed to have a rather fortunate year with one of my clients. In return, they insisted on treating me with something special.

This arrived on my doorstep today.

May have jumped the gun here a bit for the first one, but I think I'll manage.

(Big shoutout to DavidSW!)

Awesome and congrats!

And to all of the Daytona haters out there (I am not one of them, I love Daytonas), this is how prices rise :)
