Beautiful piece! I love the implementation of the dual time complication.

Honestly has anyone ever had a great Rolex experience?

Even when I was buying them on a big discount they still had terrible customer service

VC is the polar opposite. Some of the best service I’ve ever experienced and magnificent pieces

Great watch, congrats! Prefer am/pm dual timezone over the 24 hr GMT style. Great execution on this piece.

That is interesting, I have a couple of Rolex gmt watches and I have found this way of displaying the second time zone to be more a lot more intuitive.

To me just easier to see 5 o'clock than 17 for example. To this day I still go 12, 1 2 3 4 5 in my head when I see 17 LOL

Congrats -- super cool VC! Sporty and classy at the same time. Your Rolex collection is already strong...no regrets branching out!

I am happy with my Rolex collection. Add to this the challenge of getting what I want, and it was enough for me to look elsewhere. Happy I did, but I still want more Rolex
It’s a slippery slope lol

Great piece! I have also gone beyond Rolex with the shortage and opened my eyes to all the great offerings from other watch makers. That said Rolex is still an amazing product, but there is a whole world out there
