Thank you, Michael.

I fully agree with you on the date magnifier. If I am honest, I find the current state of play of the SD a massive sacrilege. For me the SD is THE epitome of Rolex alternativeness (with the Millgauss), so what has happened the last couple of years is in the realm of surrealism, or even vandalism.
All the best my friend,
Alex

All the best, Alex ...  

Beautiful, Alex. My eyes age as I age...

Still, I see that date just fine, and don't care for the big magnifier on newer models.

Thank you, Michael.

It is a compact beast though, which is its biggest charm for me.

Quality is tops, and might remain as the last true SD, unless the crown comes back to its senses a couple of decades from now. All the best my dearest friend, Alex

A favorite of mine as well.

In fact I’m wearing mine right now while cooking tuna on the grill and reflecting on which Rolex I would keep, if I could only keep one. This one would be in the mix, that’s for sure. Kent

It just keeps finding its way onto my wrist!

😍😍😍 it is my favorite also

What do you think? Do this model fly still under the radar? I think I doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Please, show it more often. Best. René

Hi René, I will gladly show it more often

 
 By: agyzace : September 26th, 2019-14:01
It does fly under the radar for sure, when you consider the situation around it and the fact that current production models still command higher prices. It is a true SD gem. Even in demand, it flies under the crown’s radar😊 All the best, Alex

My fav Rolex as well. HAGWE!

I’ve come close to adding this beast many times

Now the prices are quite high. Maybe I will work up the courage when Nicolas adds a Panerai 372, 587, or 662 😉

Fantastic picture !

It shows that this beast is at home in every situation. It is the second favorite of mine in the whole Rolex lineup very close behind the Batman . I’m glad I sourced one before the train lives the station . Thank you for reminding me of this big boy ! ...  

I was lucky...

I got mine in late '16 when my AD had 2 and was anxious enough to sell one that he made me a very attractive price. My, how times have changed! ...  

Great

The pictures demonstrates one of the main unique features of (almost)any Rolex model. You can wear this watch with what I suspect to be casual but upscale attire, you could wear it while diving as well. Looks great and smart

The 116600...

is one of 2 crowns in my collection.. Best under the radar classic looking Rolex, with a touch of boldness to it. Here she is: ...  

Good one, good one. [nt]

Wished I had gotten one!

 
 By: patrick_y : September 26th, 2019-11:49
I had a chance to get one in Miami a while back. Kind of sad I didn't exercise the option.

Not at my local dealers.

 
 By: patrick_y : September 26th, 2019-19:17
I don't see any at my local dealers. If I knew of one for sale at an authorized dealer, I'd very likely call and buy it right now.

I meant at grey dealers by now if course.

 
 By: agyzace : September 26th, 2019-21:45
Authorized ones evaporated by summer ‘17 unfortunately. All the best, Alex

Ahh. [nt]
