(Almost) one week report.....
Well friends, last week I got a beautiful surprise from my AD (link http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=135461), and 6 days after....
1.- I am STILL finding stickers in the clasp and case  , I even had a couple of 'inspection evenings' where I pulled the easylink/easyglide or whatever they call it out and found those clear plastic protectors in places I NEVER thought of!2.- The weight of the watch and bracelet is amazing, VERY comfortable on the wrist. 3.- I still think that the black ceramic bezel shines too much in some light conditions and even looks gray-ish; but the feel of the whole assembly is unique; big kuddos to Rolex. 4.- Lume is great, you can see the blue 'light' even during daylight as you walk into a room. and the best part to me: 5.- The clasp.  It is, with no doubt, the biggest improvement compared to previous oyster and oysterlock bracelets. It is sturdy, strong, closes with a tight 'snap' and the micro adjustment system....SUPERB. SO easy to adjust. Also, the whole composition of the clasp is massive, thickness close to the watch case, just beautiful.I was very impressed with the clasp on my SS Daytona (always have loved the clasps on DD and gold daytonas) and saw it as a nice upgrade from the previous clasps; but then I tried this one.....WOOF. Well, got to go....I just saw more plastic stickers on the clasp! |

Congrats!
Now that is a sweet watch! I am tempted because I always thought of getting a TT Sub Date. But that Black dial Ceramic is gorgeous. One day I'll pull the trigger.
