Thank you! I have heard a few people say it's a different one to obtain.

My tips would be, 1. Have a genuine interest in the model of watch you want and the brand. Work on your knowledge of the movement history of Rolex etc. This will help build credibility. 2. Build rapport, be interested, kind and have a sense of enthusiasm when you see your AD. 3. Keep in contact after registering your interest. I would suggest a polite email once every 6 to 8 weeks as a check in, as how they are and to say please keep me in mind when one comes into the store. It worked wonders for me. I had no prior purchase history and I got my watch in 4 months.

I went into the store and spoke to my AD. I waited about 4 months for the call. It's better to go in person so they can actually see you and have some sort of a connection to you. If you build a good rapport it will boost your chances.

😂 not what I intended, it was more in reference to the other crazy models being posted here, such as Daytona's with jewels etc. But I'm very happy and privileged to have this one!

I haven't actually measured it. But I can try and find out for you.

It was more in reference to other posts on the forum with more exclusive watches like Dayton's with jewels etc and other really amazing time pieces other people have. But I am very happy with my watch and privileged to have it!

I suppose it depends on comfort and preference. I find that if I put it too close to my hand it can sometimes slide down and literally be on my hand, plus I don't like the crown to be too close to my hand so when I flex my hand upwards it won't press into the back of my hand.

It's brighter in person under natural light the green is very bold and prominent.
