Finally it became reality! I have my KERMIT! I bought it from a dealer in Italy via Chrono24 (I live in spain myself) I trade in my 114060 with some extra euro´s for a 16610LV RRR from 2008, with box and papers in mint condition. It took about a week to receive the Kermit after I first send my 114060 to Italy.. Everything went really smooth.. I found it a little scary though, as I never purchased a watch online..

I went to my local AD yesterday so the Rolex watchmaker could have a look inside the watch to see if it needed a service. It is in perfect condition, as the seller told me, so he recommended not to service it. It took him about 20 minutes to check the movement. He also tested the watch in several positions. They really treated me very good. After the check up, the Rolex watch maker sat down with me to explain everything he checked using his Ipad to show me the exact components of the 3135 movement. They were very pleased and impressed to see a 50th anniversary visiting the AD. I have quit a good relation with my AD as I bought a 114060 last year. They treated me very good and they still are. BTW, they didn´t charge me anything for the quick checkup.
10 point for ROLEX AD´s! Here are some pictures I made to share with you people... What do you think?


Awesome ~ Welcome to the club! Mine says Hi from the states.

Congrats man!!

I sold my 16610 and bought the 16610LV and 5513 which are two very different sub.

The 16610LV is no doubt a keeper.

I’m glad it was a smooth transaction. Always a little scary when shipping internationally...might be different within EU. Congrats OP
