Keep the gifts below 15k and all is well.

2001jesper · 20 June 2021, 04:28 PM

Only a good decision if you actually wanted the watch. A stunner nevertheless

Danny83 · 20 June 2021, 04:31 PM

Congrats!!

Totally agree

jimcameron · 20 June 2021, 07:32 PM

It's a beautiful watch. But impulse buying may or may not work out.

Boothy84 · 20 June 2021, 08:20 PM

It's crazy, you've bought a watch you don't know if you like? Just because it was offered to you.

Somebody is probably on the waiting list and absolutely loves the reference but because of todays climate people are buying the watches even if they dont like them!!!

Welcome to the forum!!! Could you define, "good decision?"

Very good decision, congratulations OP, enjoy and wear in good health.

inadeje · 20 June 2021, 11:24 PM

This is a great piece. The same thing happened to me, it wasn’t on my radar but I was offered one by the AD. After the honeymoon the novelty wore off (fast) and I ended up selling it. My only TT is a Daytona Zenith that I bought new in the 90s, and due to sentimental value I won’t sell it. I’ve understood that TT isn’t for me. I tried, but that’s the outcome.

Love mine.

Cigars&Watches · 21 June 2021, 02:45 AM

I just got mine 2 days ago. It is a stunning and beautiful watch especially in person. When my wife wears it you really see how spectacular it is from that perspective. TT / rose gold is polarizing to some. Some love it some not so much but I LOVE it. Worse case you can sell make a little cash but I wouldn’t too soon or the dealer might find out you flipped it for profit and ban future purchases.

alweisenberger · 21 June 2021, 02:49 AM

yes good pick up!

101031-28 · 21 June 2021, 02:53 AM

It's a beautiful watch but personally not a fan of two tone. See if it grows on you, otherwise sell and buy the SD43

rfs · 21 June 2021, 05:31 AM

Congrats

kizerman · 21 June 2021, 05:59 AM

Just picked mine up yesterday and love it! First ever non-stainless watch for me and I love the subtle color of the everose gold.

YoMike951 · 21 June 2021, 06:17 AM

Thanks everyone, I am hoping it grows on me.

I was thinking the same thing. Lol

RyanO · 21 June 2021, 08:15 AM

Well do you like the watch? They’re not easy to come by, many who love the watch would love the opportunity to buy one.

I sure love mine.

This. Why are you asking whether it’s a good decision!?

Beo3 · 21 June 2021, 10:08 AM

Good decision? I say GREAT DECISION!

I wish that I had your luck.

Enjoy it!

JRell · 21 June 2021, 10:15 AM

I was waiting for the Batman. The root beer came in and was offered. I took it, loved it, but I didn’t bond with the brown color. Sold it back to my AD. Keep it for awhile and see if you like it. It is one of the most unique watches Rolex offers IMO.

I asked because it was a piece I hadn't considered before it was offered. If the cost isn't the issue and given the opportunity I assume most would go ahead?

BNA/LION · 27 June 2021, 07:59 AM

Congratulations!

GMT Aviator · 27 June 2021, 08:08 AM

That was a good decision. Great watch.
