:-))) OK, I must be thankful to Rolex this Christmas since both myself and (earlier today in Milano) my girlfriend were able to get some nice OPs as our special gifts...but for sure it was NOT easy! ;-) Cheers.
Well, they own the watches they produce, and since even their own customers have a hard time getting them…I think I must be *very* thankful my friend, to get two in less than a week when we asked!😉 Enjoy.
Sorry Fabr, my sarcasm kicked in. Jokes aside..I am very happy for you and congrats to you and you girlfriend for getting the pcs you wanted in such a short timespan.
You are indeed lucky that the AD/boutique you happened to walk into was able to assist you with your request. What a service..and therefore we should be thankful to the people at the AD/boutique that made this possible for you (which I know you certainly do, my friend).
It was just that I felt that “thankful to rolex” seemed to me a bit of an overstatement.. nothing else.
No problem, of course this is a very delicate topic, hence I always try to be fair to all parties involved…For sure, ADs are also often in a tough spot in these instances, and we are enormously grateful to both of them here!😄

In fact, I’m well aware that had we not already been Patek clients of both, chances are that even such a simple Rolex OP duo might have been out of reach for us this week!😉 Alas, whether or not we like the reality of such a competitive/hyped market (and I certainly do not either when it’s artificially created! ;-), it might be here to stay with us for a while, at all levels…😉 Cheers.
Thanks a lot Simone, definitely a brand which means something --- my girlfriend (who's never worn a watch before!) literally can't take her OP off since yesterday....love the experience! ;-))
Here’s some first shots, we celebrated the double incoming last night at the new “stellato” in town with some friends (don’t know if you are familiar with Genova but it’s Ristorante San Giorgio, in the city center, which just got its Michelin star)❤️🥂
I like very much the black (?) OP at that size (31, 34?), simple and authentic! Thanks for the info about the restaurant. It has been years since the last time in Genova!!!
Correct, this is the new OP 34mm...The alternative was indeed the 31mm, which was also green like mine, but it looked too small on her (34mm doesn't exist in green but it's OK, black is indeed very classical :-)

Of course you should let me know if you pass by Genova anytime while I'm here (next stop for me on May 4 through August! ) Cheers.
