My 30th gift to myself - 126334 blue💙

Always wanted a higher quality time peice. Always owned Seikos and Bulovas but when it came to my 30th i wanted to treat myself. I went into my local AD the previous year knowing it would take a while to come. They told me 6 to 8 months to come in. So i waited, a whole year went by with me constantly asking for updates and my position in the que. Always got the same answer "it should be soon".

I ended up going to the secondary market and got it the day i put the call out for one. This monday that just past was the first time i head back from Rolex and they called to tell me that had a datejust available and if i was still interested. I asked the spec on it and it was a 36mm white roman with a smooth bezel no where near the datejust i wanted.

So what i learnt from this whole run around is by it now and dont waste what precious time you have waiting.

Honestly i felt like a got a great price compared to what other dealers were asking and absolutely i think with the price increase i paid alittle bit over retail with tax.

Hate Rolex the company - but love your watch and glad you are happy!!

The blue sunray and fluted bezel look fantastic.

I also got a jubilee with my Zodiac.. and it made me really dig that style of bracelet👌

Personal i think they make a wonderful product i just hate the run around you get when you try to give them money. The ADs are trash and in my experience treat you like trash. That i cant get around. The jubilee is gorgeous for sure happy your liking that setup.

Thank you sir! And i cant agree more!

·

I'm not generally much of a fan of fluted bezels but it works so well here. Stunning dial, stunning watch. Congrats.

·

Congrats! Ain’t nobody got time to play dealer games like getting asked to buy watches you don’t want, convincing them you’re a “real enthusiast,” opaque wait lists, etc. I am considering a 36mm Explorer for my 10 year anniversary next spring and I plan to go grey market. Was there a significant cost difference between MSRP and what you paid for yours?

Beautiful watch! Wear it in good health!
