Congrats nice one
Can someone shed some light what is the deal with the red and green tags?
I was under the impression they changed from red to green , at least mine had a green when I bought it 9 months ago, but the OP photo displays a red

Rolex changed to green tag starting July 2015 and changed the color of the new swing tags to green to identify watches that carried the new 5 year warranty.

Fantastic watch. Congrats. I had one, and while I don’t regret selling, I still love looking at them.
