Fantastic choice, looking great on you!
For uploading images I use picr.de by the way - if you can read basic German, as a Belgian you just might, that site should suit you fine.

Cheers

An official Rolex AD? Paid over retail?

Great watch and congratulations, but paying over retail from an AD is a kicker

Happens every day, Rolex could care less, as long as Rolex gets what they need money wise out of the watch all is well in the world. Pure myth that they give a crap about what ads do with the watches after they are paid for. A New Hampshire Rolex Ad hoarded multiple shipments of watches n then pulled his own plug on the brand so he could move them at grey prices and retire with grey $$. Rolex must be outraged no? Please, they let them keep the iPad n card swipe reader for 6 months after he dropped Rolex so they could swipe the cards n activate warranty’s for people after they paid double retail.

Sorry, but this doesn't seem plausible. First of all why would you bite off the hand that feeds you. Retire with grey $$? RETIRE even? What is he sitting on? 500 SS Daytonas?

It's obvious by now that it's just business for Rolex. Just keep the products moving and get the money coming in.

Something that an AD could and should lose his AD status for too.

You did not pay over retail, you paid the actual retail price. MSRP stands for "suggested" retail price
