INCOMING... the President is here!!

The presidential bracelet is just iconic - I had to have it. And there's no way I could get presidential unless I get a day date or dd2.

I didn't think I would get this beauty so soon, but with the CHF increase and the specter of price increase... I thought it wasn't going to be cheaper in the future. So finally I made some calls, and settled for this pre-loved DD2. It's G serial and the certificate is dated June 2013. The presidential bracelet is just amazing, it looks different under different light - and it's so comfortable. The icing on the cake - it's still under warranty until June this year.

So, here is the latest addition to my Rollie collection: The Rolex Day Date II Yellow Gold - blackout.

What a beaut! The blackout DD2 is my Grail!

How much did you pay for it if I may ask?
