Congratulations very nice

noshame · 10 November 2023, 01:38 PM

Congrats on getting this very unique timepiece!

creepy neville · 10 November 2023, 02:27 PM

Congratulations !

Awesome time piece - can’t wait for ‘the call’ myself !!

Swiss Mad! · 10 November 2023, 02:31 PM

Wow! Congratulations!

You must have a pretty special relationship with your AD to even be considered for that piece let alone be given the opportunity to purchase it.

Well done.

Just curious, do you intend to wear it on a regular basis or is it just a conversation piece & nice to have in the collection?

Cheers

Yes, I will get a picture like that posted soon. I'm not going to call it 'normal' yet... Enjoyably large perhaps

Agreed. My first thoughts were Andre the Giant and Shaq. They removed two links for fitting, so it can handle a big wrist.

We have had a great relationship since before the Rolex frenzy started. We are not the biggest fish by any stretch. Perhaps it was just perfect timing, or they knew I would properly appreciate the box LOL.

As for wrist time, this is an evolving situation. I told the AD I would never wear it. Then the next day I wore it, and today I am wearing it again.

This will not replace the Explorer II as a daily...I swear. But it is a fun watch and it has lightened my mood.

RolexTTS · 11 November 2023, 03:07 AM

Amazing! I’ve been to many ADs and they all said they haven’t received any of these yet… I’m very curious to see in person.

Congrats!

Good post. It has some heft but not to horrible at 248 grams. Solid gold Sky-Dweller's weigh about the same. White gold YMII and Platona's are heavier.

Thanks for the added perspective. No one should be crying about the weight.

Same here - I've mentioned it to at least 3 AD's I've been to (two of which I know very well) and none of them have received one yet.

Even though it's not something I'd ever buy myself - I sold my 116660 DSSD because I found it too thick and cumbersome - I'm still curious to see it IRL.

Anyway, congrats OP!

DAC2 · 11 November 2023, 04:55 AM

WOW ! Just WOW !
It looks SO GOOD on you.
You should wear it often because.... why not ? BIG CONGRATS !
ENJOY IT ! And PLEASE post more pics and comments about it !

MrMercedes · 11 November 2023, 05:38 AM

Wow! Huge congrats!

Mystro · 11 November 2023, 06:39 AM

That is a great score. This is a watch you will never ever seeing in the wild.
On a sidenote: wouldn’t that particular model have to go back to Rolex Switzerland to be pressure tested?? It’s such a specialized piece of equipment.

DoctorsOrders · 11 November 2023, 04:54 PM

Wow. I had no idea that it came with a unique box!! Congratulations OP!

Cru Jones · 11 November 2023, 06:49 PM

brandrea · 11 November 2023, 06:53 PM

Congratulations

A great watch, unique and one you’ll never run into elsewhere

padi56 · 11 November 2023, 06:59 PM

Nice watch and a technical achievement but its depth rating will never be used by man or even superman in water,wear it in good health.

GarageBMW · 12 November 2023, 12:19 AM

major congrats. I truly love the purpose built of this one. Reminds me of my SD4K where everything on it has a technical reason and nothing is fashion oriented.

descartes · 12 November 2023, 12:19 AM

I’m not sure I’d wear it a lot but no question it’s a very cool thing to own.

43Airking · 12 November 2023, 01:49 AM

Congrats! What you said is so true - AD pop in can yield surprising results

Danny83 · 12 November 2023, 02:16 AM
