[PICS] My New Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Yellow Gold Black Face Diamond 116518 Unboxing
Hello,

Came home today to a long awaited package from my favorite Jeweler. I'm pleased to share with you my brand new Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Yellow Gold Black Face Diamond 116518. I hope you find the pictures pleasing.

As you may know the 116518 YG Black Face Diamond has been discontinued & no longer in rotation. You may only acquire them Pre-Owned from Local dealers. Given this was my first Rolex, I wanted it brand new with a 2017 Warranty Card & My name on the Warranty Card.

After multiple calls to 10-12 dealers and getting a cold shoulder, I knew I had to call my trusted Jewler Mrs. Jenny Mao, President of White Glove Watch Company. Rest assured, a week into my request she found one of the last brand new ones. She was marvelous to work with and always available to chat and text. I sent in my 2016 Brietling trade to her and got my baby today. Share with me your thoughts.

















Thanks,

How come? Should I re-do the house furniture?

It was a difficult choice between brown croc and black croc. Black won me over with the right contracts etc...
