Today's been a great day...

Just picked this beauty up... on Sunday. Xmas season getting close and my dear AD is now opening on Sundays. Got the call, rushed over and now this Batman has a new home. The watch arrived yesterday from the Bat Cave in Geneva.

Thank you, Rich.

I also had the choice of a steel Sky Dweller but the watch is so heavy, bulky, disproportionate, that I passed on it. Kind of broke my heart because I appreciate fully the new movement and the complications but it's a watch too awkward for me to wear.

Wow, these rumors of Rolex sending the elves home for the year must be untrue. Unless someone keeps finding stuff at the back of the warehouse.

Anyway congratulations.

Congratulations! You're gonna love it.

Just got one last week too. Could it be that Rolex is churning out BLNRs now?

My AD, a rather large one, only got one blnr for the holidays season. Only one 43mm Sea Dweller, too.
