My FIRST purchase.........DATEJUST 41

Some of you may have followed my thread in regards to the difficulties i was having with ADs. Yesterday i spoke to a AD who was brilliant. As they were over an hours drive away they confirmed over the phone their stock list and luckily managed to match my criteria. It was a needle in a haystack moment. DATEJUST 41 SS 18kt bezel blue set diamond dial.

Appologies but i cant upload the photos due to my limited knowledge of modern tech 😉

Congrats!!! Awesome, well done on the new watch! Congrats! I noticed initially you mentioned you were from Ilford, I remember many years back the goldsmiths there sold Rolex! Long time ago though!

Enjoy the new watch!

As the demographics of the area has changed so has the stocking of high-end brands at goldsmiths.

Very true. But you can still see the window which they used to stock the rolex watches as its closed from both sides so you can’t see any other watches than what’s in that window.
