First Post, First Rolex: Daytona 126508
Stopped by one AD and asked for a gold Daytona, they didn’t give me the time of day. Went to another AD did the same thing, and he put my name on a list but said it might be a while. 1 month later I get a random call and a voicemail to get the watch. Apparently the guy it was originally for had identity theft issues and couldn’t purchase the watch for 2 weeks, and then I was the next guy on the list that the AD called. First Rolex ever is a 126508, wore it twice already.

Incredible. Probably my favorite PM 12 Series Daytona!
Looks a lot like a vintage 16528 Zenith! |

The reason this thing is so awesome is because it’s reminiscent of the zenith yellow gold Daytona with black dial

Lovely watch, wish you to wear it in good health!
Well done for shopping around ADs. I have been told vastly different things by different ADs. I only buy where they are glad to get my business! |

Absolutely love the Daytona and absolutely love someone getting a nice watch.
What a wonderfully unusual first Rolex. A full gold Daytona. Wowzers! I'm guessing you have a hefty collection of non-Rolex. I also love the, "Ever," in, "First Rolex ever is a 126508, wore it twice already." It shows you appreciate the unusualness of your piece as a first Rolex. Love it! Finally, I love the, "Wore it twice already." A man who actually wears his Rolex - multiple times! - is a man indeed! |
