I don't post incomings, but..

I will post after I get something special, like this. I waited right about a year for it, and I certainly wasn't expecting to get it any time soon. This past week I walked into my dealer to just say hi. I wasn't planning to buy anything, but my sales guy tells me "I have something nice for you if you want it". Getting off to a good start with this first watch of 2020!

Wow, awesome! Would you still have gotten it if you hadn’t walked in that day?

Congratulations. That’s probably the hottest piece there is.

Haha the timing couldn't have been better, it'll be a whole year until I have to set the date!

I've got to say, I really love it. I already have the blue dial DJ41 on fluted/jubilee, so I knew I'd love this dial. The size, complication, the red details on the dial all make this feel incredibly special. Totally different than my other Rolexes for sure.

Congrats! It's a beauty!

Seems to be the current trend -- buyers on the "list" waiting for a special watch for a period of time and having it "come in" after a little face time at the AD.

Yes, he was saving it for me, but he gave me absolutely zero clue that it was waiting for me until I stopped by! At first I was a little worried that he was going to pull out something else I wasn't interested in, but this was a very welcome surprise.

Really awesome. It’s the first time in a long time that someone got one from an AD

Enjoy this awesome piece!

Congrats, that is my favourite Sky Dweller and hope mine comes in this year. AD offered a black dial but to me is not the same. To each their own. Enjoy in good health.
