Dad's incoming! And something for me too
After 40 years in the biz, my dad finally retired. Treated himself to something new to celebrate. His first new one in 15 years (he's obviously not on TRF lol). This thing is a beauty. AD had something for me to add to my collection. The Deep Sea book. It's a bit used, but I'll take it! Trio complete!

Curious what that means I am retiring in 42 days (but who's counting); I am on TRF and bought my YG DD 228238 from a trusted seller?

Congratulations to your dad and I wish him many years of good health.

He hasn't bought a new Rolex in 15 years. If he was on TRF with all of you enablers, the gap in between purchases would be less lol
