Rolex Sea Dweller 43 has arrived!

My first Rolex! This is the Rolex Sea Dweller stainless steel in 43mm reference number 126600 introduced at BaselWorld in 2017 as a 50th Anniversary model. Its arrival completes my luxury 3 watch “land, sea, air” collection and is dedicated to the memory of the loved ones that raised me ❤

A huge thank you goes out to my local AD Alvin Goldfarb! I’ve been treated with nothing but the utmost class and respect over the years. I can't tell you how many times I dropped by only to stare, and each time I was there it was a pleasure!

Thank you kindly! It's been a long journey (as you can imagine) but I'm beyond happy to have it in my collection. Also new watch box arrives tomorrow, so now I'll be able to stare at them all day 😂

Congratulations! Such a beautiful watch. The red text makes it an underrated sleeper hit. Aesthetically, it looks better to me than the Submariner.

·

Congratulations! Getting the call is sweet.

Oh Yeah! That sounds great! 👍
So, I had to ask 😂 do you mind showing off your other land and air pieces. 🙏

Very awesome watch, congratulations! I take it the three are the Tank, the Navitimer, and the Sea Dweller according to your previous posts? 😁

·

congratulations!!!!!

·

Congratulations my brother 👏 

·

Congratulations to you and hats off to your determination, persistence and above all to remembering your loved ones 🍻 

·

Congrats on your awesome watch! I finally got to try one on two days ago and am now trying to find a deep sea to compare. It looks great on you!

Congrats!

Massive thanks! And yes, I couldn't agree more - no shade on the Submariner, but to my eyes at least, the Sea Dweller has a lot more going on in its favor (including the red text) 👍

Thanks so much! It was surreal to be honest, I was driving and received a text from my AD contact "can I give you a quick call?" I legitimately pulled over and called him back in .2 seconds 😂

I don't mind at all! I'm still in awe that I have all these pieces to begin with 😂

The land is my "dress" watch, the Cartier Tank Must XL:

The "air" is my original grail watch that I wanted since I was 15 years old, and it's the Breitling Navitimer B01 Legacy Edition with the gold wings and the exhibition case back:

Very much appreciated 👍 I've tried the Deep Sea, and the James Cameron edition has a gorgeous dial, but the biggest difference I noticed between the Sea Dweller and the Deep Sea is the thickness. I hope you get your hands on both so you can try them on and compare 🤝

Haha, yessir! Glad to have had you on the journey my friend 🤝

  1. Congratulations.
    2. I've always been fascinated by the phrase "my first Rolex" as though people are preordained to buy more than one before the dust has even settled on the first purchase. 

    Seriously congrats though.

  2. Haha, yeah that hits my ear differently as well. I think it's more of a subconscious thing, but I also think it's related to the general watch culture that's been building up over the past 5 years or so. Specifically, you see YouTubers talking about "picked up another Rolex" and that phrase is delivered the same way I'd say "stopped at the market and decided to get another loaf of bread, no biggie" and I'm just like WHOA hold on a second, that's a lot of coin to drop. I'm not saying have a massive fanfare for it, but you know, it's no small feat either. So "my first Rolex" is more charged with "so it's been a long road leading up to this, I'm over the moon, I'm excited, I'd like to share my joy with fellow watch nerds, come check it out!" sort of like the first car you got as a young driver, you'd be beaming to your friends like "LOOK AT THIS THING, HOW AWESOME, OK LET'S GO FOR A DRIVE!" sort of thing 😀

Thanks again for the kind words!
