Rolex

After 8 years 3 months and 8 days it finally arrived. Caught the moment when I have removed all of the stickers from the watch. ...  

Congratulations! Well done on being patient ...super watch! Wear it well!

116500 and got 126500

as much as the previous one that you had ordered! where do you stand? IMO the new one is way superior, more refined

Unfortunately The White Dial is a bad copy of the discontinued. The serious thing is that I'm not the only one who thinks so. In fact, on the gray market, the rare discontinued pieces, full stickers full set, cost much more than the new models, much more.... 

let's put aside the APH versions and other 'specials' . I think there is a wide consensus that the updated version is superior aesthetically due to thinner sub dials, successful steel ring to the bezel etc the only downside I can see is the case profile t... 

APH is an invention of resellers, which only newcomers, including you, believed in. The new models Daytona have been modified excellently: case, ring, new caliber, ok everything perfect, but unfortunately the dials were not liked, in fact , most of us col... 

I only collect watches for 40 years and was actually laughing at the APH thing. sorry you missed my sarcasm

I wish you´ll enjoy it so much and you feel that the long wait was well worth it. Best cordial regards, Abel ...  

looks more proportionate. Now it's on for a black one.

latest version which is great in my opinion.

it looks more like 16520 which I like

Amazing congratulations 🍾! Wear it in good health.

1000% credit to your AD! And You can remember down to the day ��.

AD soon after the 116500 was introduced and got my name on the list in little notebook.

has paid off !

I have to say that 8 years is nuts. My graduate degree(s) didn't even take that long and I thought those were a long wait. You have far more patience than I; that's rather admirable.

They gave me Pepsi to ease the pain couple of years ago

Congratulations!!

Enjoy!

Nice to know that some of us are as patient as you and even nicer that you have been rewarded for it. Enjoy the beauty in best of health.

8 years. Wow! And were you in staying touch with the AD all those years? When you ordered, you assumed that you would get the 116500, and instead got the 126500. I am glad that you are happier with the newer one, and that's what matters. Wear it in good h... 

Throughout the years. The culmination is this beauty. ...  

Wore mine yesterday and agree it’s much more refined than the previous(owned that also)! ...  

They wear off by themselves or I remove them when it’s too ugly )) This one is almost gone except a very few

Congrats!

Lovely watch, I am sure you’ll enjoy it for many more than the 8 years you waited.
