Some girls have all the luck....
Never give up hope.... my wife's 36mm, Lady Luck. 😍
PS: If there's one constant in life, it's my Muse's consistent Lady Luck. It's a real thing, and is wonderful. While she was being ever-so-kind helping our (my) 90 y/o dad this weekend, Nick from Mayors / WoS let us know her 36mm Land-Dweller arrived. AD sent this pic 
Will post more pics tomorrow for sure.

Congratulations. The land dweller still hard to obtain, at least in my country
The more I look at it, the more I like it.
If you don't mind to tell me, you get it on retail price or pay a premium over it?

From my AD, as my wife tends to get faster allocation for the more rare timepieces than me(!)
Wrist pic etc.
The new Rolex green box looks very nice, i like the deeper patterned waves on the top. The Land-Dweller is lovely, comfy, wraps reeeeeally nicely on the wrist, and Rolex reeeeeeally put in great effort into movement decoration. The LD looks the part of high(er)-horology and, imho, now directly competes with the 1970s Trilogy Marketing Brands by the other mainstream industrialized manufacturers. As us longtimers in horology know, the industrialization / decoration possibilities have come a long way since the 1970s.
Maybe we're at a point where basic hand decoration versus machine for this level of finishing is about the same ????
Rolex has upped their movement and now with display back, and I see this is a shot across the bow of...... and in 2026 Rolex looks to be solid competition to not only the typical three, the other industrialized conglomerates too.
The new escapement is mind-boggling. When Rolex decides to juke it up to 10Hz for the new Daytona in 2029, then she'll really fly. Wonder if Rolex tested the escapement at 20Hz or higher.
Ya know. gotta say, when looking at the display back of the Rolex Land-Dweller, even directly next to my wife's PP WT, Rolex's LD might actually look a bit nicer. Call it a coin toss. Then again, the gold bits around the jewels of the Rolex.... Land-Dweller movement does hold its own.
With W&W only a few short weeks away, I wonder when the GMT and others will incorporate this new escapement and have a display back. The new Rolex movement surely looks the part.
The dial is quite the fun show, and depending on lighting, can be subtle... or a bit more.
Same timepiece, different lighting.... and please go see the LD for yourself and compare it to your Richemont brands and others as well.
Note: The bracelet does run slightly 'small', thus i didn't need to remove a link.
Ok, now that i've done super closeups, ok, by naked eye the movement looks incredible, yet under very close magnification, well... it's still very good and impressive....
...but it aint black-polished hand finished or even trying to be. Still, the very high precision of the parts and decorations chosen for the movement bits is most impressive. Far nicer than expected, even from a Picky Grouch like me ;-)
Perhaps that's really the news here... exceeding one's expectations. Enjoy your time
