AD called and guess what??

They advised me that a Deepsea Blue came in and gave me the opportunity to purchase one since I was a previous customer. I actually held off for almost a week before I made the purchase. AD stated that they never had it on display and was holding it for approved customers only so that's why it was still available for almost a week. I'm definitely happy with the watch and it's a beauty. You really have to see it in person to appreciate the Deepsea Blue. They also hooked me up wth a Rolex magaxine. Well here's a couple of pics....

Congrats

A friend of mine recently bought one. I tried it on for size and absolutely loved it, the weight, the presence, everything.

That's another one on my wanted list

Thanks everyone. �� I'm done for now till after Basel 2017. Depending on what's being released I might buy one more this year. Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to tell the kids that college is going to have to wait. LOL....

Very nice - could I just ask, how does the thickness wear under a shirt cuff? or do you just wear it casual with a loose sleeved sweater for example.

The only reason I ask is if I pulled the trigger and purchased one, I would want to wear it to the office under a business shirt.

Currently I have a Panerai which is too thick to fit under a shirt cuff easily so I cant wear that during the day which frustrates me to hell and don't want to make the same mistake twice!

Regards

Max

I'm not sure since I haven't had the chance to wear it to work. Will do so tomorrow but my cuff might be different than yours as far as the size. You might want to try the watch on and see how it fits. I'm guessing it'll be about the same as your Panerai.
