Photo's from last week, got this from Pragnell Stratford Upon Avon who have given me faith that there are some good AD's out there, thanks to LOWERCASE GUY for advising how to upload photos, not being a tech guy myself I always need help.

Happy to help my friend. Great photos Gary, it looks spectacular & fits your wrist perfectly.

The gold crown and bezel surround really stand out and compliment the bracelet so well.

Every time I look at mine it reminds me how far I've come & to make sure I take advantage of the time I have left. I never thought a watch could give me those feelings. I feel blessed and I know we have a similar backgrounds so i'm sure you can relate. I'm still waiting for my 911 though

Decent little upgrade from the Citizen. Poor thing will never see the light of day again.

Many congrats. It didn’t suit me sadly so mine went after a couple of months but for those that it suits, this is a stunning watch.

The guys at Pragnells are fantastic. Have dealt with Stratford and Leicester and the experience has been fantastic on each occasion.

I have a local AD that looks after my Rolex and jewellery needs and I’m 100% loyal to them because of a very long-standing relationship. But for everything else (Patek, IWC, JLC, Panerai etc.) I wouldn’t go anywhere else. And if anything ever happened to my local Rolex AD, Pragnells would get all of my business.

Pragnells really surprised me. My local Rolex AD is a one-store independent and I didn’t expect the same level of service from Pragnells (I know they are not a large chain, but they are not small either), but they have been excellent throughout.

I have hopes of a big piece to celebrate my 50th in four years time, and they will be getting my business for sure.

Thanks Mark, the 911 days are long gone, its when i had an engineering business then all manufacturing went to China, so had to start again. Strange how one can feel bad for a watch, I've had it for many years without a hiccup, I will bring it out for DIY or similar projects. Enjoy your watch over what should be a pleasant weekend.

Pragnells are awesome! I have dealt from Sam while he worked there and Martin, and had a chat with Nigel recently. Lovely watch!

Beautiful watch. I’ve always really admired those. I think one day after my others are gone I may look to one like that as my one and only.

Congrats on this beautiful watch! This was my first Rolex, I don't wear it much, just use it when I go out, but every time I do, it puts a smile on my face!

This and the TT DJ on jubilee are 2 of Rolex’s top timeless designs.
This reference can be dressed up and down to everything in between. I’ve seen it looking just gorgeous with suits as well as with shorts and jeans. On men and women too.
