Incoming! Can’t believe it.

Some of you may have seen my other posts but I got this call just in time. I ordered it 6 months ago as a wedding gift to myself. We leave the country in 30 days so I was getting pretty discouraged at the thought I would have to get my deposit back and go grey.

This is my first Rolex so I was trying hard as possible to let the AD pull through and start that relationship. I emailed him weekly and stopped in a few times. He was very aware of the timeline and that it is a wedding present.

Call me crazy, but the same day I mentioned getting my deposit back and having to go grey because of timing, the watch became available and I got the call late last night. Coincidence or not? WE MAY NEVER KNOW.

Grateful to have this on my wrist next month for the big day matching my blue suit, and excited to officially start my collection. Cheers!

Congrats! This is probably the perfect "starter watch"! I know I love mine, eventhough mine was my 3rd Rolex. Welcome to the addiction!!

Is it a 41 or 36?

Do you have a 9 inch wrist or is that a 36mm model?

Was going to say the opposite.

Looks small on that wrist to me.

Congrats! What a beauty! I was initially told two years for the plain blue dial and am on the list for the fluted.

It wears smaller than I anticipated but at the same time it’s the overall classic/old-school look I was trying to achieve. Feels like a bracelet. Switching this out with my Speedmaster occasionally makes for a good pairing, but this DJ will be my daily.
