I was told it would take 5 years minimum to get the white 116500LN, so….

Great watch. So sharp looking.

And thanks for being honest about how you purchased. So many people on here are not.

Congrats!

Thanks! I realized looking back at this photo, I randomly took the shot at 9:46 AM at a tennis center before the game we were there to see that Aug morning in 2019 and both my watch and the Rolex clock are showing the same time. Random as heck!

That said, with the 116500 selling at more than 3x MSRP, there is absolutely no way I would ever consider it. Not with all the money in the world. At some point it almost becomes a matter of my personal dignity. I don't need any watch that bad. Gorgeous watch, yes. I will pay to play in this climate but I have limits.

The thing is... to get one, I definitely will be able to... but I believe technically if I keep buying from the same place it will take still a few years (maybe not the 5 years they originally said) — but still, takes multiple purchases, showing up for service, buying straps, etc, and some of those transactions you lose money when selling, but that helps build the AD relationship. It’s like that.

I just wanted to get it now while I continue to play the normal game at two ADs.

And man, I’m so damn happy. This watch is such a piece. Makes me feel so much gratitude and so thankful in life, just by staring at it.

It’s a completely different and better feeling than the one I felt when I got my 5168g-010 or my 116618LN. It’s at a whole different level for me.
