Thanks alot Will!

I've been wearin it on my kick back days especially if I'm going to be outside alot and the weather is nice... but to be honest... I'm very careful with it... I mean it's been preserved so nicely that I don't really wanna thrash it.. thats left for my Stainless Steel models as they are a harder substance!

EricM · 9 March 2015, 05:09 AM

Redhot, I'm overseas as well right now, in East Africa. Hot as heck. I head back to San Diego in April. I can't wait. Swami's here I come!! :) We missed a good winter. Swell was great!! When I get back I may have to start a show your Rolex and surfboard thread. Lol.

Cheers,
Eric

According to the serial number, do you know about what year the watch is from? Did it have all the box, booklets and warranty with it? If I were you I would never sell that baby!

I have surfed East London, South Africa. Very sharky place with Whites, Bulls and Tigers, but it was a blast. Hang in there, April is right around the corner. PS, those tacos sound DAMN GOOD right now!!

It looks like you may have the only purple dialed Rolex in existence...? lol.
