Tried to search a little, but couldn't find any other user experiences with the new 116515. So, I'll post some pictures from my visit to the local AD on Wednesday.

First of all... The "AD experience" ;)

And then the watch :)

I'm in love!

I would really, really like to take this one home with me. But, not this time, unfortunately...

Nice, but the 'The "AD experience" will be the most expensive espresso and cake you ever had :-)

Lol, great pics. I will own 1 in 3 years.

Puffy · 26 August 2011, 07:12 PM

Norway is expensive. But our wages are also quite high.

The retail price in Norway is NOK 181,500. This is approx. $33,600/€23,300/£20,600.

Wow......that is a nice hunk of chocolate!

Passionata · 26 August 2011, 07:20 PM

looks great, but somehow the brown dial not YET my cup of tee.

Like the Sub-C LV, it's really difficult to see the real color of the dial in pictures. It looks MUCH better irl

The color is more like the everose gold that the case is made from :)

MonBK · 26 August 2011, 07:25 PM

X2

dddrees · 26 August 2011, 07:50 PM

Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to see both the chocalote and white dial in person.

capote · 26 August 2011, 08:01 PM

I really like that Daytona. Has anybody on TRF bought it yet?

X2 It looks more "together" in the skin. Not my cup of tea but it did look stunning on display under lights.

texex91 · 26 August 2011, 09:44 PM

I like the cake idea

See a lot more of these are showing up at AD's. Someone needs to pull the trigger

GREAT pictures, thanks for posting!

Michael M. · 27 August 2011, 01:05 AM

Cake looks good, so does the watch

Submarino · 27 August 2011, 02:09 AM

Beautiful watch!!! Now, that's how ADs should treat customers everywhere. The AD experience here in the U.S. is so bad.

A.J.R. · 27 August 2011, 02:13 AM

Amazing piece, I cannot wait to see one in person.

skyedog · 27 August 2011, 02:14 AM

very nice pick! congrats!

rad87gn · 27 August 2011, 02:21 AM

Awesome watch! Congrats!

ptugolf · 27 August 2011, 02:26 AM

I love chocolate.

ingoodtime · 27 August 2011, 03:57 AM

Beautiful watch but way to expensive.For that price, it should have a gold bracelet and even then way expensive. I do like the durability of the ceramic bezel insert. My GMTIIC bezel still looks great after almost two years of mostly daily wear.

ManUtd · 27 August 2011, 04:07 AM

Not my cup of tea but it looks great on you.

threemonkeys · 27 August 2011, 04:50 AM

This is the only Rolex I would describe as sexy and hot. I love it.

hennabav · 27 August 2011, 04:55 AM

Very nice!! Congrats!!!

chicagofan · 27 August 2011, 05:02 AM

Beautiful watch. Can't wait to see one in person. By the way, I think the AD should have served you a dark chocolate cake.

psv · 27 August 2011, 05:04 AM

I'm sorry but that looks like a Swatch to me. Not my cup of tea and the wrong direction for Rolex IMO.

Oslo · 28 August 2011, 05:05 AM

Wages might be high, but try justifying 3$ for two ordinary onions in Oslo. Bora Bora seems like backpacking in Hungary compared. Got a Deep Sea in Oslo at 11.600$US two years ago. Sure they were polite. "I really love working here, taking brand new timepieces home for a day or two makes me knowledgeable". Figured out the scratches. +30.000$ in Norway for a 18K Rolex non bracelet - if you really fear crossing borders go for it.

Where do you do your shopping? Two onions should be less than $1 ;)

Using common sense, buying a Rolex is stupidity. Far too expensive. But, it´s all about the feeling ;)
