That is an excellent model. I love the size as well. Great wrist presence, but at 40mm not too bulky. And the way Rolex treats their stainless steel, the watch just gleams. The dial is perfect. And over the years, I have come to love the Cyclops date. It just goes with Rolex. Congratulations on both the watch and the timing!

Congrats. Did they have anything else of interest in stock. I know someone else that stopped there on their way to Glasgow and managed to pick up a TT CHNR GMT, just as it arrived.

Thanks. Absolutely loving it and just a couple of days into owning it. Nothing else that noteworthy in stock when I was there. Glad to hear that someone else timed it right too!

Even though I like vintage rolexes to begin a collection, you can never go wrong with a Sub.

Congrats👍
