Incoming.... Kermit Flat4!

Okay. I got it. With original box and papers. Some scratches at 4 to 5 o’clock, otherwise perfect.
I just left the watch to official Rolex Service to be checked inside-out: if it its truly authentic, does the Kermit need any service, that everything is allright.
I have to say:
Kermit does have some charism of its own.
After a few days I will get the information and official appraisal of authenticity and condition. If something comes up, I can return the watch and get my money back...
Exciting... Here are some quick shots:

Congratulations & I'm sure everything is correct with the watch. And will you be wearing it, or keeping it safely hidden away.

Based on the dial text, it's oval.

You keep teasing me with your family of little green monsters Fleabag.

Stop putting pics on here. Everyone I see them I start googling 50th Annie subs. My wallet can’t take it

Whilst you are correct fleabag, I keep telling myself that every time I buy a piece.

The price of these is going up and up and it Gauls me now as I feel I missed the boat and should have struck when they were £5k ish for a good one.

Anyway I am waiting for you to get bored of all yours and sell them to me for a song lol
