Must be my lucky day

I cannot believe my luck!!
I am on route to Melbourne from Auckland
Jeweller/AD I have used just opened at airport and had been given a special amount of stock by Rolex
I walked in and hoped for a white exp II not thinking they’d have one
They didn’t!!
But they did have a White SS Sky Dweller!!!
I snapped it up - compliments my sub C perfectly
They sold 12 watches first day and similar quantity on day 2
Had subs GMTs and explorers and black dial SS Sky Dweller - all gone
They still had lots of the new DJ41, YM’s, Milgaussand Exp I
My lucky day I guess!!
Will load photos sometime this week

Wow... congratz for the rare catch.

Too bad the store will be barren by Day 5, if lucky.

Skydweller over the explorer-especially a plain white one--any day all day.
