I don’t find it thick or noisy. The crystal is not flat. It’s domed - vintage style. That does make it “thicker” but it’s also a big part of what I like about the watch. It really enhances the cool dial.
I am considering getting back on a the list after I just received my Explorer about 2 months ago. The only thing stopping me is that I might get the call sooner than I'd like. I want a DJ and those seem to be coming in more frequently these days. Last thing I want to do is pass if I'm not financially ready.
Lovely story and I agree that there are many good ADs out there, but it seems a bit crazy to me to have to spend 10-20K on watches I don't want to earn the privilege of maybe having the opportunity to spend 20K on watches I do. I know how we got here, but it's nuts.
I bought my first Rolex from an AD after 6 months on the list. No prior purchase history. Yes, it was an SS Explorer 124270... so maybe it was an easier model to get than some, but that was the watch I wanted.
