Return of the grail watch

Rolex has always come true in quality and robustness and that is why it is to this day my favourite brand. Sometimes i needed to sell a watch to
get the funds for a new acquisition. When i sold the Day Date it was primarily for safety reasons. But boy did i miss that watch. So i told myself, if one day i get fed up with watch bug and i sell my watches this would be my exit watch and the only watch i would want to buy again, but this time in 36 mm. And low and behold that time has come:
