Incoming of my first Rolex
On the last day of 2016, December 31, I decided to call the two Rolex ADs in town and ask them humbly for the black Daytona C. One AD said there is a 5 year waiting list...
The other AD asked me if the watch is for me, what I certainly confirmed. Afterwards he said, that he will call me, when he got the next black Daytona C...  And today, exactly 30 days later, I finally got the call.  What a fantastic piece
