She's back from the spa...
After the off and on problem with my 44mm stopping intermittently, I sent it to Clearwater after their new year break for service. The chrono module was replaced as that's what was causing it to stop. I opted for the light polish, and she came back this afternoon good as new.

New PO XL 8500...love it
Just got my PO XL 8500. Love the watch. I was torn between the 42 and 45 and am glad I picked 45. Feels perfect. Some quick cell phone pics.

First Rolex incoming!
Hi guys, need to share my excitement with you. My Rolex journey has been a rather odd one. I got into watches couple of years ago. From the start, I was 100% certain that I would never own a Rolex. I just didn't like what you typically associate with the brand or people who wear them (please don't kick me out and keep reading). Over the years, I bought 2 Omegas (Speedy Pro & Seamaster PO GMT), 2 Breitlings (Superocean Heritage 46 & Transocean 1461), a Tudor (Black Bay Heritage S&G), a Sinn (104), a Tag Heuer (Link) and some Seikos (SKX, Samurai, Cocktail Time). And while I love all of these watches, the more I learned about Rolex, its history and its horological significance, the more intrigued I was. It was clear: I needed to have one. I've been hunting a BLNR for months now here in Australia and it's almost impossible. They sell used ones 15% over MSRP and new ones at 30-40%. After doing some research here one the forum and the countless people very happy with purchasing

How soon after Baselworld do the new Rolex...
Watch models usually arrive in the stores? Is it within a few weeks or a few months?Thanks!
