Holiday Outgoing and Incoming
I have just got back from Florida with my family where we spent the last two weeks in and around Disney. Whilst there I arranged to meet up with a certain trusted seller who some of you may have heard of - DavidSW.

David was a top bloke throughout our dealings. I would recommend him to anyone on the forum without hesitation. He was also good enough to drop the watch off where we were staying on the very first morning we arrived - which was good news to me as the excitement of picking up my grail would have probably ruined my holiday if I had to wait a few days!

Unfortunately my BLNR have to move aside to make way for the incoming. I did and still do love this watch however its replacement is what I personally think is the nicest modern sports watch Rolex currently make. It has captivated my attention for over two years now and I still cannot believe it is mine!

Here is the BLNR on its way out....literally!

I'll post the incoming pics shortly!!

Such a nice piece, I actually like this dial more than the sunburst.
Well done and congrats

Totally agree. I am glad I was in a position to pick this up before they change the dial - that's if the rumours are true of course.

I thought it was going to be. I was worried I would regret it but in truth, once I strapped the WG Sub on I didn't really give it much thought. The main thing I liked about the BLNR was the blue and sub has a whole lot more of it!!
