Incoming. First Rolex Purchased.

I have a semi-interesting story about my first Rolex purchase.

On my honeymoon in Barcelona, we were walking down the main road through the city. There are two Rolex boutiques about a half mile from each other I'd estimate.

On Friday, there was a stainless steel black bezel GMT in both stores. I walked into both and inquired about the BLNR. One store said not in stock and there is a waiting list. The other store surprisingly said they had 1 but it was reserved. So I left.

On Saturday, I popped back into the second boutique. I ask the lady if the person backed out or changed his/her mind about the BLNR. She says hang on and goes to call the person but they don't answer.

She then asked me did I want to purchase it. After a quick conversation with the new wife, the BLNR was on my wrist.

I feel like I should play the powerball this week. Great ending to an amazing honeymoon.
