Missing that feeling ...
Of visiting ADs and get that kind of calls.
The local ADs are opening with strict social distancing rules.
Went in today and picked up another Skydweller for the family. This is not the most popular model due to YG SS two-tome but someone likes it so here it is.
Also we have to wear gloves for trying new watches and surprisingly they have some nice 36mm and 41mm Datejust available.
Not good lighting for photos

Missing that feeling ...

Really like the SkyDweller ..
I was browsing the Rolex website and I fell in love with the two tone champagne dial.. I remembered when I was at the AD, the dial was not what I expected from the website.. maybe it was due to the indoor lighting.. hence I bought the SS black dial instea...
The lighting in the store is too yellow so not good representative.
The wrist shot is much natural but still look different from naked eye. Now that you mentioned this champagne dial, I think it will look great and blends in nicely with the bracelet 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
There are 3 dial options and above post shows the nice champagne yellow dial...
which is nice too. I think white is the least favorite for me but black works great like you said.
Keep it clean
No fingerprints on the watches, keep them new as new. Hopley no scratches either.
The plastic are all taken off after the photos...
This AD is very strict and watch will be worn 😬
Plastic and Stickers
Pre owned watches, sure they come mostly of the time without plastic and stickers. A nice subject to talk about. When pulling off stickers, get it a kick? yes or no. I like that feeling pulling off stickers. Before pulled off sticker, i have the idea that...
The recipient only saw the Rolex official photos and said “I love it” 😅.
I’m not a big TT fan as well except for the Rootbeer GMT, which is my first TT.
I agree somewhat Raymond but some of us have been here WAY BEFORE there was a hype for any model...
personally I have been collecting for 27 years now. My father has for around 60 years. Nicolas and some of the other moderators have been around just as long as myself, if not longer. So yes we currently have hyped watches, but some of us purchased these ...
Don’t get me wrong Justin...
You know I’m cluelessly collecting the hotter ones and my serious collecting only start in 2012. Prior to that I only buy pieces with huge discounts and now I found even that, they drop further so I told myself I’m not going to throw my $ away....granted ...
Nothing negative Raymond, I totally understand your point of view and we all are a little guilty of pushing the hype for certain models as well...
I just wanted to say that some of us have been around before any of this modern hype existed and I even remember receiving discounts on hype watches from AP, Patek, RM, and Patek 😉👍
Same for me...back in 2014 when I got my first PP 5726/1A, I was able to choose from 5711 blue and white, lol...
and I chose both whites....white is for my brother in law, and I didn't have enough dough to pick up the blue...hindsight is 20/20. Have a great weekend Justin...your family's collection deserves allocations for the newer piece and that's only fair, bravo...
Many thanks Raymond but I don't ask or rely on past history. We are all in the same boat which I find more than fair 😉😁
You made a great choice with the white models. I have both 5711s (blue and white) but prefer and wear the white one much more often. When it comes to a simple blue dial watch, I much prefer my AP 15202ST Have a great weekend as well my friend 🙏👍
