FRESH from the AD. My new Rolex 116610LV (pic heavy!)
Good evening all,
I sold my GMT2C last year and I have been missing having a Rolex ever since! I went to a very posh hotel/spa in Scotland last week and there was a Rolex Shop inside it. Of course I went in on the first day and there was a stunning 'Hulk' (which I hadn't actually seen in person yet) I tried it on and instantly new I HAD TO have it! They very kindly offered to hold it for me until the next day and of I went upstairs to do my "man maths". Well I pulled it off and bought it the next morning and I am so glad I did! This watch feels to me like a 3 in 1 Rolex, what I mean by that is it changes colours so much that it seems to blend in with sports/casual/dress situations flawlessly. Perfect example, first night I had it we went out for a big special very dressy dinner and my girlfriend commented that the watch looked completely black on the dial and how smart it looked. Next day at the pool bright green again. Really amazing and I tried my best to show you on the photos but they definitely don't do it justice IMO.. I mean first time I saw it in the flesh, I bought one! So happy to be back, I took lots of pictures and I really hope you enjoy them!               Of course some mandatory wristies!

Congratulations. Beautiful watch.
The Hulk often comes out very a "in your face" green in pictures, but it's so much nicer in person. |

It's pics like this that made me buy an LVc. It's quite the stunner and you made a great choice.

I love a new Rolex. Some people don't really know the cost of a rolex.

There appears to be some type of mark on the 5 of the 50 mark on the bezel in almost all of your pics. I hope that it's just some goo that will wipe off.
