Incoming - his and hers (15500 and 77350)

Hey all,

In case you've followed my previous posts, I had a lot of questions regarding boutique items.

Well at the end it turned out as hoped. I finally picked up my 15500ST today and my wife got hers sized. Pics really don't do these dials justice!

They are so comfortable to wear and look gorgeous, especially on a sunny day in NYC like today. They won't come off the wrist anytime soon... And the boutique was great to deal with even though they are getting swamped with anniversary release questions!e83cefec-73f2-4ee7-803e-16cd687fca3a.jpg


Hope you guys like the pictures...IMG_8569.jpg

How big is your wife's wrist?

Wow incredible duo congratulations! I’m waiting for the same piece. So you had about a 1 year wait?

Looks like not all pieces allocated this year will have the 50th anniversary rotor. Although it is likely this was produced in 2021

Thanks - never measured but not very big. They had to take 4 links out to make it fit...

Beautiful, great gets, and fun.
My girlfriend and I have matching Rolex watches, and it’s fun to wear them out together.

Beautiful pair, congrats! I really like that dial, the gradient in the reflections is great.

Did you purchase from a boutique or another AD? Also, did your watch has a 2021 or 2022 production date? I’m hoping even the 2022 ones don’t have the 50th rotor. Did your SA mention anything about discontinuation of the ref?

Haha first off thanks everyone for the messages. We're enjoying them immensely.

@vince:
I purchased rhe 15500 from the boutique. Was wait listed for the 77350 for a year but it didn't happen. Turns out our family jeweler had a client that didn't want it. I checked with the boutique and they said they hadnt received one in some time and were OK with me purchasing it somewhere else.

Not sure about production date, how would I find this out? I didn't ask about the discontinuation, was just happy I managed to be allocated one...

Few more from further away to give a better sense of the size rather than closeups...

I promise I'll stop now

Congrats again! I assume the date would be included in the literature provided. Unfortunately not sure, as I’m still waiting for my first AP.

Well done, but don't let her get anywhere near the watches with that ring. LOL
