I’ve heard some people be critical of the new 42mm Pelagos but it’s a much more elegant case design than the existing version. Im not a huge fan of the strap but the case deist is phenomenal

Great way to end the week, just picked up my first Rolex! I love the Sub Date, it’s the quintessential Rolex to me. It was a very refreshing experience with this boutique… Talked with the boutique director 3 weeks ago about a Sub Date or Pepsi to celebrate an upcoming engagement, got the call yesterday, picked up today. No purchase history. The Rolex boutique in Chicago really made me feel better about the state of the watch industry by how they treated me and didn’t play games. Happy Friday!

Friend of a friend said they bought this thru Centurion contacting them and reserving it. It sounds bs to me, but curious to hear other’s thoughts. Also curious to hear how much this is worth, since I think the price the person told my friend is bs, too.

No prior purchase history.
