Two months ago I started with a 'Grail' 6263 Panda and awaiting another black SS 116520.
HOWEVER LOL, I have always loved the black dial 116509 WG, the dial and contrast is just amazing. A new version of the term 'Exotic dial' comes to mind. No wonder Rolex use this one in all their promotion. A new one at an AD at MSRP is just pure madness. So after some very tough bargaining I managed to get a great deal from the first AD in Sydney but as we were looking at the watch the seconds hand fell off. Bad Karma or what?!
Disappointed, I tried one other AD and they had my conquest in stock so I was lucky to secure it to my wrist.
With a huge celebration in order, my wife and I went to one of Sydney's finest restaurants with arguably the best views of the harbour. It is called 'Level 41'. We had the full six course 'Degustation' with wines and a Laphroaig whisky for me at the end.
Wristshot with the desert tasting plate.
First impressions are very positive. Love the 'Click' sound when one pushes the chrono button. The power reserve of 72hrs and quick wind-up is very practical. Especially when you want to change watches on weekends.
I have to say only Rolex could get away with a full white gold sportswatch with such class. The dial of the 116509 gives a more 'Tres Chic' look and a less formal vibe when compared to the SS models.
Still getting used to the weight of the watch on the wrist. I needed a bit of bling in my collection.
Hope enjoy the post and thanks for looking.
