A recent acquisition for "The Collection"

When I saw this box, I knew I was in trouble..... 

 
Opening the box, this was inside: 

 

This nice little guy was smiling at me. 

 

First impression: "Nice bezel!!" 

 

Second impression: "Wow, look at the case, really unpolished!!" 

 

I took the watch out, and checked the bracelet clasp. 

 

Under the watch cuff, were original papers from Artland in HK. 

 

Even an original polish cloth from the store!! 

 

Looks good on the wrist, i'll take it!! 

 

To me, this is what it's all about. Truly a find, imho. The watch was completely unmolested. MINT case, no wear on the back of lugs, super tight bracelet, nice original dial with greenish 6 oclock lume, big bubble gilt hands, etc..... Even the crown is the original "+" one, and the movement looks brand new. 

I paid perhaps a world record price for a watch like this, but I am truly happy. =)

Rolex works great and they are significant status symbols to many people. And, in reality there would be few that would argue with that basic premise. When you wear a Rolex, you’re a cut above the rest.
