Incoming first Rolex from Jacek
Well, after a little bit of hesitation, I took the blunge and got this from hq Milton

https://www.hqmilton.com/timepieces/...-ii-16710-8738

Here it is wearing a Pepsi insert.


Now to go and wait by the mailbox.

Ps. Is it a concern, that I am already planning my next purchase?

Thanks Jacek.

Jacek/HQ is first class, I've picked up many pieces from them. Congrats on a fine watch and no... It's not concerning you're planning the next already.. This bug bites hard.

Thats Beautiful, very envious. The bezel is ceramic, yes?
How difficult is it to have the bezel changed if you want a different color?

Nope this is the earlier non ceramic bezel. Apparently you can swap them out yourself
