My AD wasn't meant to be getting it but due to an issue I had and the regional manager and the Rolex sales rep getting on the case it arrived within 10 days

Any plans to mod this? It looks perfect the way it is...
Watch or car?

Watch is staying standard Rolex did a great job with the revamp, as for the car I've fitted a few of the OEM M Performance parts but engine will stay untouched 330bhp in a little 1 series is plenty. Plus it's really my wife's car I have a works van

Not going to lie given the premium these go for sell, it did cross my mind but it's a watch I really want so the DD40 will have to wait..

If anything now with a trio of the 214270, 116600 and the 116500 it should keep me happy while I work on the DD40 fund

I'll be honest prior to the text I did get a call from the regional manager to stay I'd been allocated one and it should be at the store in the next week.

Liked the white from the start, however the black has grown on me but the white still had the lead, plus my other two watches are black dials so nice to switch it up.

Think my other two watches will have to take a back seat for a while

Steve yes my friend it was a complete U turn on the situation I was in, the regional manager and Rolex rep came through and in under 2 weeks it arrived.

Quick family shot

Yes they do however it does appear a little slow in the UK at the moment. Obviously that's based on the small percentage of Rolex buyer who frequent various watch forums!
