Too nice a day to work....
so I left the office early and took a drive to my AD's for some window shopping. While checking out the display case with one of my favourite sales associates, the owner came out and we started talking watches. He even brought out the master book to look through. Now I've been dealing with him since 1999 and have purchased 14 Rolexes from him over the years, so we have a good relationship. We chatted for over an hour, and I tried on a couple of the watches including the 116610-V green ceramic. Now this watch was NOT on my must acquire list, but looking at it I had to admit it was unique. Then to make matters worse, he offered me a 25% discount..... what could I saw, I was weak...
         the glidelock clasp...  the wrist shot....  the only complaint I have is that I didn't have it fitted at the store, as I like to play with my new watches and I told them I'll adjust it when I get home... which I did. However, how many of these G.. D... stickers do they put on these watches? Every time I think I got them all off I find another one!
