Incoming, Back in the game.

[IMG][/IMG]
My previous 3 rolexes were sacrificed for anything from selling for business expenses( in my younger days) to Taking a counterfeit cashiers check for a Gold President DD with diamonds, that one hurt.

Anyways I felt like getting a Rolex again and decided to be practical so I went hunting for a 16610LN BNIB, I was quite surprised how much the new watches have increased in price over the years.

I went to several AD, nobody offering discounts on ss sport models, fast forward I found this site. After browsing for about 8 hours and emailing several sellers I decided to buy from Takuya.

I emailed Takuya late Monday Evening, received a reply Monday morning and we made a deal. I wired money by lunch and he had the watch in the mail before end of evening. It arrived at my Office Wednesday around lunch time.

The watch Ceramic black/Stainless sub was exactly as described, all hang tags, boxes and warranty card in my name stamped by AD. Thank you Takuya!!!

Welcome to the forum and Congrats on the new watch
Classic choice.
Trusted sellers here are great. Hard to beat doing a deal with a couple of emails and in most cases having the watch the next day
