Personal grail came in, DD olive

After quite some time I purchased a new watch. I used to have a TT GMT but now I have gone with a major upgrade.
I bought it from my AD in Athens. I am very happy with it.
It was a big milestone in my life to own a PM Rolex.

So here are some pics

Congrats on the grail acquisition. The rose gold and olive dial combo is so beautiful!

Since you got this from an AD in Athens, I’m curious why the days aren’t in Greek? Did you have the option to choose? I ask because I’m Greek (living in the US) and have always told myself when I get a day-date I would want it with the days in Greek. I know you can have an RSC swap the day wheel but would love if it was factory.

Yes they asked me if I would like to change it for a small fee.. but they don’t ship it from factory in Greek language..
not sure if they do it in any countries from factory but rather swap it later.

I don't like roman dials, but this is exactly the one watch / dial color combo where I kind of love it.
