Guys there is actually a good story behind this purchase.... I found a dealer abroad who my dad has used many years ago and looked on his website as I was looking for an lv. As soon as I clicked onto the website BLAM the lv is on the front page staring at me...I talked to my wife and we said lets go on an Rolex adventure...I called the dealer and asked for a small discount on his listed price and three days later we drove 350 odd miles to him in holland from the uk. We stayed overnight in Amsterdam and had a nice meal and look around the city centre taking in dam square, central station and some of the lovely canals. Drove back the next day and the photos above are us driving home on the euro tunnel!

Out of every Rolex I have this is a 100 per cent keeper.....defo going to get a spare black and green insert and keep that flat four clean.....

Many thanks everyone......
