Gentlemen, it's been a long time away from the forum and understandably longer you're away the weaker your decision making process will become. With that being said, I wish to present to you my newest acquisition and undauntedly the centerpiece of my Rolex collection: The Rolex Datejust Chronograph Quartz with Stainless Steel Caseback and non rotating bezel with ceramic insert under the domed sapphire crystal. Well, without any further ado lets proceed to the pictures:
I was disappointed at first with the length of the chrono SEC hand but seller convinced me that this will become a new trend of the Rolex Chronograph in 2018. Besides, this was utmost secretive sale due to the specimen being a prototype not yet released to general public. Generally speaking I've just acquired the 2018 SIHH Daytona! Oh sweet Mother of God! I am the greatest collector of them all! But enough of the petty talk, lets get down to more eye candy:
As your members trained eye noticed, Rolex will change the box appearance for 2018 as well. No more wavy, square green boxes! Now Rolex models will be sold in bespoke elongated boxes, coffin-like with rubber bands holding the watch in place. What a fresh approach from crusty, old Rolex manufacturer. Here's the better view of the box closed:
Note that, according to my seller source this box will have embossed lettering after SIHH release, for now factory adorned it only with contrasted white stitching to keep the watch inside inconspicuous.
Of course some of you experts might have noticed the crocodile strap and novelty buckle without Rolex crown. Rest assured that crown will be added just in time for formal introduction next year (I'm buying prototype, remember?)
Lastly, I would like to introduce to you newest caseback design:
Sleek rounded and polished design with no markings or serial numbers (again, prototype), laser etched to Rolex specs will assure the smooth glide on that sweaty wrist. From my sellers source I can attest to the new trend that this model will start in the upcoming year - wearing the watch upside down to utilize high polished surface to tame your uni-brow, curl up your mustache or brush down your beard without using your pocket mirror. Way to go roleX!
I have to ask you now to keep this info contained as you may know if this info will leak to the general public this forum will be in great jeopardy and possible FBI prosecution.
You have been warned.
