First AP !
Hi boys ! Very happy to say that I have my first AP on the way, after a few Rolex I finally tried on the silver dial 15400 and I was hooked.Is there anything I need to know ? I'm very used to Rolex being built like tanks I'm just wondering if there's something I should know about. Like Omega's 'don't change the date between 10 and 2'. My mindset with Rolex has been to send for service only when needed, it always ended up being cheaper then just sending it in every 5 years even if something happen to break. I'm talking 10 years or so not 20-30. Should I be more careful with the AP ?What about swimming with the AP ?I'm sure this is mostly dumb questions just rather be safe then sorry.

Got me a 15400 Blue!!
Got this BNIB a few days ago from David (thanks again buddy). There's so much to love about this model! The new case size, seconds hand, dark date wheel, and clasp to name a few.Of course you've gotta love the 3120 movement. I'm a sucker for APs blue dials, so I had no hesitation with color options.I use my 15202 as more of a dressy watch and wanted something to share daily wrist time with my LVC.Here goes..................

My Wedding Gift!
So my amazing fiance decided that she wanted to get me an early wedding gift, or late engagement gift, I don't really know and don't really care! All I know is that she did GREAT!! (or I did great? )

Rolex Dealer closing down.
One of Houston's longest standing independent Rolex AD's is closing its doors for good, presumably after Christmas. Donoho's Jewellers in The Woodlands has been around since before I bought my first in 1984. I hadn't been there in years and being in the area Saturday dropped by to see the Final Days banners hanging. The store looked pretty picked over and all of the Rolex watches left, maybe 30, were in one case. Lots of Cellini, PM stuff, and diamond dialed DJ's. There was one YG Daytona-C on leather strap, no other sport models. I didn't ask but other watch brands were marked 15-20% off. They also carry Breitling, Tudor, Corum, Bell and Ross, and TAG. Don't know the story but I'm guessing the family just wanted to retire.This leaves only one Mom and Pop, one chain store, and a couple of local mini-chains including the one that runs the Boutique. I kind of liked it when it at least seemed like there was competition.
