And it's here, my grail!
Ever since my mom gifted me a stainless steel handwind Mickey Mouse watch when I was about 9, I have been enamored with watches all of my life. My collection has ranged from the Seiko, micro-brands, TAG, Omega, Panerai, of course countless Rolexes have come and gone. But today, my watch collecting history has been pared down to one, THE ONE! On to the quick & dirty pics... Also, quick shout out and big thanks to Chase @nashvillewatch for helping me along the way and making this happen!

Congrats. It really is a cool piece. Is this the forever one? Or just the one for 2021?

What made you choose this over the TT? I have the TT and was very close to upgrading but pulled back in favour of a RG daytona but seeing this on your wrist it's calling again. Looks great!

Congratulations.
I got my 1st watch about the same age. Used my allowance I had saved up to buy an orange Mickey Mouse watch at Disneyland. Had it up until about 15 years ago and it disappeared. Wish I still had it. |

 I said the same thing when I acquired a Skydweller last year, but quickly realized that a) Rolex's most complicated movement was too complicated to continually have to set if you don't leave it on a winder. b) a 42mm DJ-style case isn't my thing, I'm a 6-digit sport model guyThis is my grail, but I've learned not to call things a keeper ; ) |
