New Sea Dweller has been pre-ordered!

[JPS]

Hi guys

After many months of deciding which Rolex to go for (as this was my first Rolex purchase) I finally decided on the Sea Dweller!

Most of you will know me from my posts in the Omega forum as I'm a dire-hard Omega fan with 4 watches to my collection in the last 12 months, but the realisation of owning a Rolex as my next big purchase became too much to resist and I finally gave in to temptation. The Sea Dweller has been ordered from Goldsmiths UK and will take 3-4 months to come in. Needless to say guys I can't wait and the pictures will follow once that happens!

Thanks

J

CONGRATS!!! But just do not let Mr. Houston know you jumped over. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[JPS]

LOL - That was always going to be the hardest part ;D

Nice one JPS.. I collect mine tomorrow.

Where in the UK are you ?

[JPS]

I'm in Northamptonshire, but I've ordered it through the Leicester store!

I bet you can't wait!

[eddo]

You bet..

Not sure I'll get much sleep tonight with the anticipation ;D

I've currently got a Tag 2000 which I've had for around 10 yrs and in that time I've worn it every day and to be honest, it has been miss treated on a daily basis

I will be wearing the SD every day from tomorrow (or at least that is the intention) but will have to remember to give it a quick clean at the end of each day and not just throw it in the side ready for the next day ;D

[JPS]

looking forward to seeing some pictures of your new acquisition!

i think the fact that it's a rolex will have you taking complete care of it from the off!

best of luck for tomorrow!

Hey Johnathan.....




CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

I know you've been looking for awhile. I think you made a great choice. Really, there isn't a bad one of the Rolex's to pick from!

Wow, 3-4 months though.. Why the long wait? Are they in that short of a supply in the UK? Just about every dealer I've been to in the past month has them in stock here in the US.... I think you mentioned before there was a short supply, so I assume it's still the case..... Still seems like a long time to me though..

Well, maybe you'll get lucky and it'll be here in time to grace your Christmas tree!

Congrats again pal!

Now we're just gonna have to work on changing that siggy of yours.... ;D ;D ;D

Guys, if you're interested these are available immediately from guys on Turf, at £300-£400 below list, BNIB. Rolexroz, Jedly1 usually stock these.

Which Goldsmiths branch are you using JPS?
I got mine from Newcastle where i live in September, they have another in the window right now!
Congrats also, i love my SD although it is winging it's way back to Switzerland right now to be regulated since it was running a little fast.
See if the staff in your AD can show you how to deploy the bracelet extension, and if you want to steal the march on them, check out the tutorial on how to do so on John B Holbrooks' excellent website: www.rolexreferencepage.com
Congrats again, wear it well.
:-)

If you're in the UK, are you sure it isn't winging its way to Bexley? I doubt it is going to Switzerland

Hi adamb,
Given that the return date my AD gave me is January '08 it better be Switzerland!
Seriously though, i don't mind where it goes, and it's back when it's back.

Congrats I love my SD

If anyones interested I know of at least one Midlands AD with an SD in stock and He'll probably do a deal too!

Only time I'd swap my SD is for either a re vamped SD or Sub with the maxi dial and ceramic bezel (the red retro font on the Sub would be sweet too!)

Enjoy!!!

Don't underestimate the hardiness of the SD though! It will take your abuse and laugh at it whilsts bonking your missus and stealing your beer ;D

New style DJ next for me I think. A stable mate for the SD to knock about and intimidate

Congrats!!!!!!

For regulation

For your info, next time you need something like that done, which is a two minute job, send it direct to Rolex at Bexley or St James in London, post it Royal Mail Special Delivery, and you'll probably have it back within a week, two at the most.
