Impulse Buy

Took my car in for scheduled maintenance and had some time to kill, so I stopped by my local AD. Was quite surprised to see this just hanging out. I saw one on someone at ohare about a year ago. Stopped me dead in my tracks, and I knew we’d be together at some point...I brought it up to my sales rep, and she kinda laughed at me at the time...but today, there it was just hanging out in the case like a puppy needing its forever home.

I put it on, and it never came off.

Most impressive in the metal! Feeling blessed for this lucky day!


Side note, it came with the old warranty card, so I’m wondering if it wasn’t a safe queen for some time that got put out.

Great find! Crazy it was just in the case, they probably put it there 5 minutes before you walked in and snagged it!

Some great incomings today. Congrats! Can’t believe that particular DJ was just sitting in the case. Definitely one of the more difficult configurations to happen upon. Enjoy.

Impulse Buy

Blue dial, fluted bezel, on jubilee is a grand slam.

And If the datejust was at any other brand it would be called a “sports watch”

Stunning fine friend, and it may be an impulse buy but you can not go wrong with that watch! I am kind of under the belief, with my purchase today, having a SD just showing up at my AD, and you finding that one all alone, things like this were meant to be.

It’s never an impulse buy when it comes to this reference. You just picked one of the most beautiful watches Rolex makes.
A keeper for sure.
Congrats
