Incoming...116500 SS White Dial Daytona!

Got the call today!
Couldn't be happier, but I am afraid to wear it, so it's in the safe for now. Huge thank you to Brown & Co in Roswell, GA who made it happen. Took a couple years, but worth the wait for sure.

Beautiful piece. I'm just not a fan of it sitting in the safe. It's made to be worn, so wear it and enjoy it!

I think it was more like 18 months. I've been a customer there for over a decade, usually for jewelry for my wife, and occasionally getting something custom made for her. Always diamond related jewelry. I've never bought a watch from them because they never had one I wanted, but I have had them send my 116520 black dial in to Rolex for service. I go in there fairly often, and engage with their sales manager, who knows me by face/ name, so there is definitely a relationship there. And based on their getting me this watch, that relationship will definitely grow:) As a matter of fact, while I was there today to pick it up, I saw a pair of earrings I will buy for my wife later this week.

If I can wear this as a daily you can definitely wear your 500.

But in all seriousness major congrats. I have a black 500. A Truly amazing watch granted I haven’t worn it in months. Your picture maybe will make me wind that baby up.

Congrats again

My black one is a month old… and disturbingly scratched up on clasp and a few links already. Oh well better than just imagining it while it’s hidden in a safe ;)

You’re scared to wear it? I predict a short nap in the safe, followed by a quick flip for profit.
