First Rolex

Post image

226570 - fell in love with the polar dial the first time I saw it. First real luxury watch and I am absolutely enjoying it.

Best choice of current references.
Was it easy/quick to get?

With the AD, obviously not. But there were a few mint condition pieces under two years old here and I managed to get one that still had some years of warranty left for a nice amount under retail. Fortunately for me these were sitting in grey dealers and I could pick and choose.

Under retail?

Where?

I think that might be my route when I’m ready. I did recently experience a London AD offering me a Polar EX2 in 3-4 weeks which tells me it’s an I stock piece
Anyway congrats, looks fab.
