Double Xmas - Chocolate Roman & New Sub

Today my very special Chocolate roman 178341 arrived and the husband someone managed to get a new black ceramic sub while I was picking it up!!!!! I ordered the Chocolate Roman 2 1/2 weeks ago from the local AD - surprised it arrived so fast! Both are beautiful. Feel very lucky to have them

Wow - I just ordered the same combination from my dealer for me and the wife (except I went for an SS Sub). Hope ours arrive as quickly. Congrats!

very pleased to report that the diamond bezel on the chocolate roman is very subtle - very classy. not as flashy the photos - good for everyday wear

Congrats to you both stashe.

I got the same watch for Christmas and love it. The chocolate dial goes so well with the everose gold.

I wasn't sure about the diamonds on the bezel when I saw them in the picture, but they are very subtle and tastefully done, and as you said, definitely not flashy.

Enjoy

Another interesting point is that you can order this watch without diamonds on the bezel, and it costs 3K less, however I can't imagine it without.

It is such a refreshing, artistic, and modern approach in use of brilliants for Rolex, and gives it an upscale casual look, if that makes sense.
