Finally my first rolex!!!!!!
Hi everyone this my first post and first rolex!!! Just got home and wanted to share some pictures with all of you. To make a long story short, I just purchased this watch from a good customer of mine. I saw it a few times in the past and he explained that it would be sent out to rolex to get completely overhauled. He came in my store the other day to show me and WOW!!!. We just met at a AD to verify the authenticity. Its a coke 16710 serial L. More pics to come.
