Look what I found in the mailbox today ..

Don't they just look the part .. even their envelopes and paper is of such a quality you really would expect from Rolex . The paper weighs a ton , it is like cloth . Beautifully embossed gold coronet on top

I finally have the original document stating that my Date Just 16013 and the Olympic dial is 100% original Rolex and no other identical is recorded . I asked for the English version for commercial purposes , it is somehow differently worded then the initial email I got in french . Very Rolex .. always a shroud of mystery .
At least I got it in writing , I was told that this might have been difficult without sending it off to Geneva .
Thanks to a person in Brussels Rolex HQ for benelux things went fairly smoothly .

Very cool--never have seen that dial before!

mcjp6 · 17 June 2010, 09:49 PM

Tristan, Very nice to add to the provenance with a letter like that........

It certainly seems like you have a one of a kind there, well done.

Howie · 17 June 2010, 09:54 PM

That is very cool, you have quite a special watch there.

nickriebe · 17 June 2010, 10:52 PM

Very nice! Definately a rare watch...

Nicko · 17 June 2010, 11:13 PM

Take your address off the letter or they'll come in droves to steal your Rolex...We're in an economic crisis here donchaknow......What are we at like 30% unemployment here??

sakuraba · 17 June 2010, 11:16 PM

That's a beautiful watch, Tristan!

+1 on what Steve said. You might want to smudge your personal info.

They got my name , and the post box at the urbanisation as even the postman cannot get in here without clearance at the gate . I can assure you that they will break in some other houses first before they will into mine . I'm the poor guy around here

Too late Chris, I have saved a copy of the pic on my PC. Just so happens there is a flight from Glasgow to Alicante tomorrow morning and I have Tristans address. I just got to have that DJ.

:

Forgot, I am sh*t scared of dogs.

Cancel that flight!

Excellent Tristan. The hard work really paid off for you.
