Well done that's lovely. I have just got my first rolex two weeks ago. So I am just wanting to see people that are at their end watch.

A truly memorable and extremely happy day. Will never forget the feeling of finally obtaining my grail. A once in a lifetime moment.

Thanks, Neil.

Love your grails. Is the rose gold a sign of things to come?

Congrats Eric on the DD purchase - beautiful watch. See you are a Vancouver residence - which Rolex AD do you do business with??

I also always considered the DD as my "grail", so I have ordered the 36MM DD Everose Chocolate with matching Croc strap from my fav dealer, Montecristo on Hastings. Sam, the manager, treated me very well price-wise. I will be picking it up on Monday. My wrist is on the small size, so the classic 36MM size fits me perfectly.

I have also requested that the watch not be removed from the Rolex coffin, and I expect the proper display box with the sleeve. I have made many purchases from Sam and he knows how anal I am.

BTW, I live in Kelowna, but have a second residence in downtown Vancouver so I visit the watch stores frequently. Who knows, some day we may run into each other.

Sorry I missed this post, J. Alan.

Congrats on the purchase of your grail. The Everest Gold Day-Date is absolutely stunning. Looking forward to seeing pictures of that beauty on your wrist. Love your dial choice too. Chocolate dials and RG watches are a match made in heaven.

The AD I frequent is Montecristo at Oakridge Centre. Been dealing with a fellow by the name of Gianni for well over a decade now. He has always treated my friends, family and I with the utmost respect.
