And it didn't start out that way. Everyone was pretty lukewarm about it when it came out. I thought it was great and I hope they do some more bezel colors this year

Thanks to all for your congrats, I'd like to quote and name-check you all but that would be a looong post!

I'm very grateful for the warm welcome though, so !

It's my first Rolex and I certainly do now get what all the fuss is about, it's beautifully made and so comfortable to wear. I was close to buying a 216570 before Christmas when my budget was suddenly and fortunately increased and took me into potential BLNR territory so I couldn't resist.

Hey Sublovin, I don't know if people are paying it but I've certainly seen them advertised in a few places online at well over RRP.

The initial deal with the Grey dealer was at £300 below RRP but after their supply problems and the European price increase they were trying to source it for £100 below and suggesting it might have to be higher, the RRP is what I got it at the AD for in the end.
