As some of you may know, my boss's husband owns a Rolex AD, I went over today to check out some possibilites for my next watch and boy did I have fun

Today has been better than christmas!

I walked into the shop this morning and it was empty so it meant I could take my time looking through a few watches

I went over to the Rolex window and he gave me the key to the safe upstairs and said have fun!... I could not believe what he allowed me to do, I litterally spent 2 hours solid looking through this huge safe full of Rolex's...

HEAVEN!

I opened the door to the safe and I could'nt believe my eyes!!

Stacks and stacks of boxes just FULL of Rolex's! I must have had about £200,000.00+ of watches in my possesion

Heres what I got up to

This is a serious contender as my next purchase, pure class with AMAZING wrist presence!

I got more and more out of the safe...

Out comes the GV

This is a seriously beautiful watch, the MOP Dials just do it for me

Notice which one has been on my wrist most of the time

So by this point I found myself getting in quite of a mess, before I new it I was in a swamp of Rolex's

Time to start clearing up...

As I was putting them back into the safe, I stubbled upon this baby!!!

I truely had an amazing experience

But hey! Still no Daytona's in sight!!

Thank you all for taking the time to look through my pictures

Looks like it belongs to the OP? There's no tags on it like the other ones. I could be wrong tho.

Holy cow! I'm jealous...

Anyway, what about the DJ II? You said in your previous topic that you head to the AD to try on the rhodium DJ II?

Ooo I see

Learning by the day here

I never realised it have two case backs, is the outer ring where it says Milgauss seperate to the main part of the case back?

Can't wait for London man

You beat me to this. I guess that they're all used watches- should be worth about a 30% discount.
