Aloha to you all!
Aloha to you all!

I'm born & raised in Hawaii but lived in San Francisco for a while. Came back home to start a small tour company. I belong here. I decided why not start a business & share our great culture with others.

Anyways, I'm on a determined path to make my very first Rolex a Daytona 116500 "Panda".

I'll do my due diligence & shop around, ask every person I know if they know someone that might have a connection, do whatever it takes to not pay the premium (although i would) but I'm going to work hard & earn it.

If anyone has tips or knowledge on how I should continue the search, please share. I'm sure a lot of you have connections & the watch community is all about business but if anyone wants to help a first timer out, shoot me a PM.

I'll wear the watch, a lot, won't ever sell it.

Thanks for reading. ALOHA!

Thank you! A friend of mine puts together a watch group in the city! Maybe I'll see you there one day.

Aloha! I've been to Hawaii three times (Oahu and the Big Island) and loved every minute of it!
