First (unexpected) incoming
Hey everybody,
so I've been waiting almost 1 year for this day. I was minding my own business this morning and got a call outta nowhere from my AD telling me that a white dial Ex II 226570 would be available. I picked it up this afternoon and I have to admit that I'm extremely happy with the choice I made. To be honest getting this watch was a hassle and it's not even one of the more popular models. I'm still interested in other models and building my collection but as soon as you mention the word 'Rolex' at any AD the whole atmosphere of the conversation changes. Funny times we live in. Stay safe everyone. |

Congratulations. One of the nicest Rolex pieces.
Know what you mean about the 'atmosphere' :) Don't take it too seriously, what will be will be. |

Congratulations.
I also got one very recently. It has quickly dethroned my Sub-Date and is now my daily wearer. The White enamel dial just looks great. Wear your new Exp II in the very best of health.

Congrats on the new watch!
Curious what you mean by the "atmosphere of the conversation changes".... as in, it changes to them thinking "great, another customer wanting a watch I don't have to sell to them" or something different? |

That phone call is always so great to get. Always reminds me of just how easy it is to juggle ones schedule should there be a good enough reason for it.

Congrats. BTW, that box color looks white-ish — not cream like I’m used to seeing. Thoughts?
