Incoming. 10 second call to DSW and it will be here tomorrow.... Too easy David

Thanks to Rolex addict ( Chad) for a little enabling. My first significant non Rolex purchase. Looked at this piece in an AD about a year ago but said to my self I couldn't possibly spend that on an SS watch.... super fired up about putting this baby on my wrist tomorrow ...just hope my SD screwdriver will work to remove a link or two if needed. David makes it too easy Happy Holidays all and pics by late morning MT time. Guess away.

Congrats Matt!

If I'm not mistaken I believe the typical Rolex screwdriver is 1.6 mm vs 1.4 mm for what I assume is a gorgeous genta icon with a 3120. Proceed with caution.

I don't understand why he doesn't expand his business to the UK.

Hell there's enough of us here desperately trying to buy a Rolex!

I'm going to guess that he wouldn't be competitive after import duties and taxes were added.

its either an AP 15xxx or a patek nautilus.
