WOW.. Christmas in July? No way....
If there is truly a definition of a grail.. I think this is it for me in Rolex territory. I am just a poor kid from Queens and to finally able to wear a "yellow gold" Rolex that my grandfather once had.. it is just unreal. While the black dial was my wife's initial favorite, I just had to give the blue sunburst dial a try and sight unseen(Thanks again buddy Alfred!).
Yes, Mike, Felix, Eric and Neil, you guys are absolutely right. The allure of the YG is just simply amazing. I am a convert from stainless steel for sure and I love it! Thank you guys for the awesome influence (uhmm.. Neil..)! Few quick scans (with diminished natural light) to share with all the good folks here! |

Wow. Huge congrats! That piece looks amazing. Just something about yellow gold and Rolex. You truly do have one of the best looking YG Rolex watches available. Congrats again on the magnificent timepiece and more importantly obtaining your grail.
Love the blue sunburst.

Great score Fred and congratulations. I know how you feel since scoring my first gold Submariner this past spring. There is definitely an allure with the gold watches. Now all you need is a nice Day Date to go with the Submariner. Congrats again.
