I bought a Deepsea
And i had to go through a lot of obstacles to get it!

Luckily, Marke on the forum was there with me very step of the way.

Mark is a top man and thanks for your great gesture(s).

I'll tell you what i went through once i get it all documented.

This wrist shot is for Mark, thanks again!

It's worth the wait

Anybody that has seen the watch from close is amazed by the craftmanship

Rolex is stepping it up

X2...glad to hear everything worked out. I had to laugh at the stickers comment 'cause the DSSD definitely has more stickers than I've ever seen. The glidelock alone seems to keep going & going when it comes to stickers.

I'm interested in hearing more about the story & seeing some more action shots when you get a chance. Congrats again!
