love it..

Beautiful watch. I was contemplating to buy this or another one.I have been hanging around TRF for only few weeks now already expecting a fedex on the way from Oscar.

Given how little many clerks at the ADs know these days, I trust the TRF crew even more to know the history and authenticity of these fine watches.

Thanks. I am a big fan of the deep blue aluminum bezel and dial. The ceramic smurf blue is nice in its own way, but I prefer the deeper blue.

I feel the same way about the coloring.....

Your's is a beauty for sure....

With all you've gone thru late last year, your Rollie purchase thru Oscar should be, and is a fantabulous one!

Had someone told me last December that I would be sending wires for thousands and buying more Rolexes on TRF, I would have laughed all day. But, by trusting the right sellers, I've felt completely comfortable in doing these purchases (from train-time, Steve Mulholland and bodybump.)
