Incoming! 126655

I’m on the road and the local AD happened to have one of these in the safe (126655). I’ve been admiring the Everose YM ever since they released it on the Oysterflex and the time just felt right to finally pick one up.

Super comfortable and such a sleeper of a timepiece for being PM. Thrilled to add it to the stable and I have a feeling it will become the new daily go-to.

I also got one of the brand new RFID warranty cards with it. Pretty cool to see in person.

It’s nice to see this model getting more love these days. It’s so well done...from the matte dial to the large lume plots, the red lettering, that bezel, and the glidelock clasp is phenomenal...it all comes together so nicely.

And now the paranoia of picking up the first little scratch begins...

I’m not generally a fan of Rolex offerings in the past several years, but this one is a great look. Love the matte dial as well.

Thanks, all! I called and asked if they happened to have this reference and, ironically, they had literally just received one. Super lucky on timing!

Awesome watch, the bezel really contrasts nicely with the everose...

Beautiful watch, congratulations. I saw this at the AD surprisingly in the window but way outside my budget.

Sure did. When they updated the reference with a new movement last year they also added glidelock to the clasp. Such a nice addition.

I'm not convinced by the bezel (and would prefer it without the cyclops if such a thing were possible...) but the dial, case, bracelet and clasp are great! Enjoy!

Wow - I genuinely had no idea - always thought glide lock was the preserve of the diver family.

Congrats! Great choice, although I am biased. I bought the 126655 as well over the weekend. Loving it.

The Glidelock was a major selling point for me. Huge improvement over the Daytona Oysterflex I used to own, which was not nearly as comfortable having only micro adjustments and Easylink.

Congrats! I love this reference. And its definitely a scratch magnet, but still looks great regardless.

That beautiful Everose cannot be denied. It has a certain quality in natural light that is indescribable. Congrats on a great addition to the collection!

I recently discovered this model and I have to say it's quickly become one of my favorites. It carries a very nice balance between elegance and sportiness. I'm not hardcore into Rolex so I didn't even know about it when my AD first showed it to me.
