Got my President

A year after I casually walked into my Atlanta AD's store with no expectations, she called me last week to inform me that she got the exact watch that I was looking for but she had to get management approval for the sale to me because I had no purchase history with them. Well, she made it happen.

I have been to almost every AD store all over the world, while on vacation, looking to be put on "the list" and most of them either refused or did so reluctantly but never followed up. Even my AD in Cancun from whom I bought a Rolex in 2016 didn't follow up

My salesperson in Atlanta was so nice and personable and she kept in touch with me by text monthly. The in-store delivery was top notch and it was quite satisfying to see the first guy who walked away from me a year ago watch me take delivery and sip champagne while he was picking his fingernail.

I love everything about this piece of art and am very happy with the purchase.

man oh man, what a beauty! congrats OP! I'm looking to get my first "fully-precious metal" Rolex later this year, and my first choice is a rose gold daytona, but the day-date has reaaaallly been grabbing my attention lately, and your pics only help its case lol. that chocolate dial with baguette diamond indices is just *chef's kiss*

nicely done......the ultimate Rolex reference imo, in either 36mm or 40mm sizing. Truly the King of Watches, + the Watch of Kings! Crown is befitting of the watch imo.

I love the Daytona and it will be my next Rolex after I sell my 36mm Datejust.
