Hi Guys,

I have been saving for a while now and purchased my 1st rolex a few months ago. I bought it from thewatchcentre.com on New Bond Street, London. It was Pre-owned unworn (116713LN - 2015). It seems to have come from Greece originally!

Absolutely love it and can't stop smiling when I wear it!!
Have a couple of questions.
1. is this the correct box for the year (2015). I thought Rolex released a new style box where the document section is a 'pull down' compartment.
2. the GMT hand, the green seems to stop every so slightly short of the 'triangle pointer' (sorry for the wrong terminology!). I have seen that different GMT2's have different 'end' of the green 'paint' on the GMT hand.

Anyway some snaps attached!
