3 SS Rolex Collection
Hi Guys,I put my name on the list at my local Rolex AD for the new SS BLRO. I have a strong purchase history with this AD and said I'll be one of the first it will be offered to once they get one.

Which other two would you keep?Thanks in advance!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
