I made the move! Do I get to say Incoming!?
After months of research and annoying questions I finally bought my first Rolex!
It is a 11520 - built in 2013, bought new in 2014. Full CPO and comes with every single piece of info from the watches history. I specifically wanted this watch because I met my wife in 2013 and I proposed in 2014. When I proposed we were in Chicago and I wandered into the Rolex store on Michigan Ave. They had this exact model ready to buy new. Like a fool, I decided to think about it and left the store. 10 years later I was able to buy basically the exact watch from the weekend I proposed to my wife. Really fun and I'm really enjoying the watch! - One question. Do any of you recommend a good stand for the watch for like next to your bed or on your desk? Thanks for all the help! |

Looks wonderful!
The story is even better. I’m glad you were able to find a watch that has such special meaning to you. Wear it in the best of health and wear it often. |

Thanks! I even broke it in with its first scratch on the bracelet from a zipper on my pants ha.

That's actually my favorite Daytona (Of the modern ones). Current bracelet. The silver subdials makes it a LOT easier to read too.

It is an APH on top of it! I still don't believe this makes it more valuable, but sort of a cool thing I suppose!

Congrats and beauty!
Not a stand per se but love the Carapaz roll my wife bought me. It has a feature where you can use it as a stand too… excellent quality! |

I'll second the Carapaz watch case. I bought one & I've been really happy with it. I use it for storage more than display but it sort of has a display function. Very well made.

Thanks. That is a good looking case. I just want something I can rest the watch on when I'm typing or when I go to sleep.
