What have I done to dereve this! (part 2)
Rember this thread? http://50.30.33.71/~trfcom/showthread.php?t=197542 Thank you aunty!
Afther visiting several ADs in Miami I decided to take my chances with the islands. I'm pleased to report we had a blast on our cruise with the Oasis of the Seas. We sailed to Nassau; St Thomas and St Martin. I did pickup a G-Shock in Miami. I got the Rolex at a great price that even DavidSW could not match. (Sorry David) The AD had every current rolex model in stock. Just to be on the safe side I mailed the box an papers prior to my return from the US. Afther trying on both the GMTIIC and the new Exp II 42 I decided to go with: |

Yup AH Riise in St. Thomas is simply the most fun place to buy a Rolex. The AD experience at discounted prices. Hard to Beat! Enjoy that beautiful watch!

Sam, yes they are great. They even give an additional warrenty year on the watch and were so kind to give me a $50 gift certificate. It was a tough choice, but I chose the GMT over the Exp II because IMO it is a more versatile model. |

Great watch and great ship. My wife and I sailed on her sister ship- the Allure of the Seas. Loved it.

Congrats....
Great story and stoked for your purchase!
My 16610 is from A H Riise also after winning the International Rolex Regatta a few years ago. Great memories and the best 1st place trophy to receive! Great to see your photos that brought me a smile.
