Also the bigger news is that by asking the right questions and dropping the right amount of hints and using a small flex of influence that I managed to secure a 116595RBOW pavé dial as part of the deal...I will be living off of bread and water for the next 12 months, but I think it's worth it...only time will tell.

Pictures to follow as soon as I get the call!

Thanks TRF community!

That's amazing. Rainbow is my grail

OMG OMG OMG!

wow, just wow. I WAS going to say PASS because the the RBOW does much more for me, but you just rocked it right out of the ballpark like a BOSS.

Way to go, and I cannot wait for the pics.

Dang.

Great ordeal

Danny83 · 15 June 2020, 06:51 AM

I really like it but its kind of expensive just for gems. But if you can get a discount go for it !!

I’ve never shopped for these so I’m not certain but I’m guessing there is no way you’re getting a discount on these. Especially the Daytona. Aren’t they selling for double on the secondary market? It could be the easiest $50K OP made in his life. Although if you can afford these you’re probably not particularly interested in flipping these for a mere $50K.

I buy about 10 burritos a year and I say go for it. Beautiful watch.

Congrats, James! Bravo! Double heavy hitters are better than one - great choices both and looking forward to the pictures.

GMT Aviator · 15 June 2020, 09:22 AM

Nice one. Well done. Looking forward to the pics.

A little over 3 weeks later and the SARU arrived and it came with a friend! I think this has been my biggest 'incoming' for a while!

Congrats James, both super pieces. Wear it in good health.

Did you get any info on the rainbow?

Many thanks!

Yes my Rainbow is next off the line, so I think between November - December finger crossed!!

I'll do another incoming once it arrives!!

Amazing piece.

sgwatchguy · 11 July 2020, 01:00 AM

Congrats! Absolute stunner, and a very good looking friend. Look forward to seeing the RBOW.

downtorock · 11 July 2020, 01:02 AM

Wowza! Nice job, those are two stunning pieces—wear them in great health!

acheronsgrief · 11 July 2020, 01:39 AM

Wow, congrats. Absolutely amazing, good choice!!! Excited to see the rainbow too

C0d · 11 July 2020, 01:55 AM

Doesn't tickle me at all and I consider it to be borderline ugly. If you dress like Elton John perhaps you can pull it off.

I'd pass and for that kind of dough look at a limited Patek. I don't know many ultra wealthy but the ones I do know, wear very vintage or limited pieces often extremely under the radar.

glamorama · 11 July 2020, 02:01 AM

Woow! That is some heavy hitter!! Congrats

calh22a · 11 July 2020, 02:02 AM

Wow, amazing double incoming with a rainbow shortly to come! Congrats!!

The GMT is a beauty, but a rainbow would be killer

Holy cow batman! That’s a serious incoming. Congratulations!

jamesthejeweller · 11 July 2020, 03:00 AM

I was a skeptic but it's really a thing you have to see in the flesh before dealing in absolutes. I've worn shorts and a Tee my whole life, I live on a beach so dressing up is definitely not my thing, and it looks pretty epic with board shorts and flipflops!

My personal collection is extensive, and used to be almost exclusively vintage, and yes there is a lot of Patek, AP, FP Journe and A Lange.

This razzle-dazzle G(e)MT is just a great bit of fun that showcases the expert craftsmanship that Rolex built their name on.

I'd love to change your mind, but opinions are what make us human!

cheers!

Can someone lend me a hand, my jaw is on the floor

Amazing incoming. You made the right choice. Can’t wait to see the RBOW!

So was the green Daytona allocated to you because you bought the GMT?

I would worry more about your AD seeing this thread and price they offered you on line. How many of these are there. Would that be a concern to them?
