Incoming for the sister in law...

Been looking for a pre-owned example of this watch for a while now for my young 32 year old sister in law who lives in Toronto Canada. Last time I was there a few months ago we went to an AD there and she looked around, and this size/model was what she decided on: black dial, diamonds, jubilee.

Found this used one on watchrecon and recognized the seller ponycar350, came here to find it also listed here. A couple of emails and a trip to the bank to wire the money, and a day later this beauty arrived.

Although I fully respect and trust the trusted sellers here, I still took it to my local expert shop to have him give it a quick once over. Was given a clean bill of health, no issues, pointed out to me a couple of cosmetic imperfections (in line with and expected of a 12 year old watch), overall, I am very happy with this find and I can say the watch is in better condition than I expected.

Already sent my sister in law the pictures, she can't wait to get her hands on it in a couple of weeks when they come down to visit during Christmas holidays.


Edit: I have enjoyed this forum enough and used the trusted sellers, so it was only fair to contribute towards 2016 membership pledge (done.) It will be good only for a couple of weeks, I know.... I will do another once this one runs out early next year.

Nice, but why you be buying your SIN a Rolex? Does your wife/brother know about this?

Hahaha!!! Kind of a wedding gift. Will be her first Rolex so she is excited. She deserves it too. Been kind of a hard couple of years on her. I wish I could afford to get her a new one.

Actually I helped find a TT black dial DJ fo her fiancé/ husband too a few months ago. That one was a private purchase and before I joined this forum.
