Ah, didn't pick up on it being a B&W pic, but see what you're saying now.

I think post 71 was first to ask about a 36mm Exp 1. They didn’t specify SS or TT so this seems like the winner

turkeysub93 · 20 May 2021, 10:36 PM

Well...that was more anticlimactic than the ending of the Sopranos...

stickyfingers85 · 20 May 2021, 11:05 PM

Explorer 36mm steel please

PA Zu · 20 May 2021, 11:28 PM

So who gets it?

Marcjvr · 20 May 2021, 11:39 PM

How about the watch gets flipped and the proceeds are used to buy everyone here a 6 pack of their favorite beer

jpwv · 20 May 2021, 11:47 PM

This actually turned out much more interesting than I expected. The B&W was a nice touch. I didn't notice it until someone pointed it out. Great job OP!

LOL!

I actually like Cellini watches! They're out of my budget so can't play this game. Seems like a very fun experiment though. Best of luck with everything.

Here’s why:
- oyster PCL
- no crown guards
- seemingly 36mm case
- flip lock clasp.

Well done.

GolfJunkie · 21 May 2021, 12:27 AM

Are you keeping it or passing it along to a member who is interested?

Marcjvr · 21 May 2021, 12:40 AM

I think specificity in the initial request should be rewarded

Curious to see who it goes to. Was a fun game though

Ill take the starbucks Submariner!! Beautiful piece. 126610LV

jpwv · 21 May 2021, 01:15 AM

That was fun OP. Ready for round 2?

vh2k · 21 May 2021, 01:21 AM

Quick update...

Working with a few TRFers to ensure this piece ends up on the wrist of someone who really loves it.

Some TRFers, to their credit, said they typically don't wear watches smaller than 40mm and they voluntarily gave up their spot in the queue so the piece can go to someone who regularly wears 36mm pieces. (You know who you are.) Love that! Stay tuned!

Let's finish Round 1 first.

But, Round 2 is being considered for the week of June 14.

You are a great host.

Did you fill your AD in on the plan? Do they know you may not still own this watch soon? Any danger there?

slus · 21 May 2021, 01:28 AM

Nice! The black and white pic was slick, I barely noticed the PCLs that gave it away.

ajchang · 21 May 2021, 01:28 AM

Thanks for the update - has been super cool to monitor and see the community come together around a shared interest.

afmars · 21 May 2021, 01:29 AM

This was fun - thanks OP!

Beto737 · 21 May 2021, 01:30 AM

Excellent gesture OP!

watchtabs · 21 May 2021, 01:31 AM

Hey folks - I’ve been calling ADs over the 36mm two tone!

If no one wants it? I do!

mimariani · 21 May 2021, 01:34 AM

That was very fun to follow! Good looking out for other TRFers!! What a great community of rolex enthusiast.

azgr · 21 May 2021, 01:35 AM

Great exercise and a fun thread - Hopefully the watch ends up in the hands of someone who has been wanting this specific model.

yOyOYoo · 21 May 2021, 01:36 AM

Such a fun thread to follow up with and be a part of. One of the best recent posts on TRF!

Mendota · 21 May 2021, 01:37 AM

That is a really fun update. Way to go! I tip my hat to you.

How awesome would it be if we could create a vetted buyer's club, no flipping allowed, just like this?

Was wondering this too, since OP is a "vetted" customer (and not a flipper off the street - his words)

and he buys watches to "flip" to someone else. Not saying that it's a bad gesture, but that exactly what it is. I find it kind of ironic.

TswaneNguni · 21 May 2021, 01:38 AM

Interesting and positive thread !
Well done OP,you are going to make another member very happy !
