My SA felt bad for me...

After I told him that after visiting 15 Rolex dealers (13) in Switzerland, I got only one box of Rolex chocolate, I expressed my interest during the visit in a display model of blue YM, so he called me next day and offered me a new one!
Few notes:
1. The watch is amazing, the sunburst blue dial and shiny bracelet are fantastic.
2. In Europe, I was told that it is very hard to find.
3. My SA said it s not popular w flippers, so the production and demand are not very high.
4. Want to thank forum members who provided answers to my previous questions to educate me about it.

Congratulations. For a minute I thought you were going to say he took pity on you and gave you some chocolates.

I would disregard #3. Flipping doesn't make watches popular. Popular watches create flipping.

I've had mine for a few years now and I love it I purchased mine because of the platinum bezel insert as much as for the awesome blue on the dial. now you can say you have a Rolex with Platinum and steel.

Congratulations! I love mine.
In 2020 I got one and trade it for BLNR, 4 years I’m thinking about buying one again, and finally on my wrist.
Hard to show this watch on photo, need to see under sun
