I obviously got lucky with my Rolex purchases. The first watch I bought brand-new was the Submarriner. However, when I purchased my watch from Goldsmiths in Torquay they had 2 models available. One had a black bezel and the other one had a green bezel. The green watch wasn't that much more expensive than the black model also I thought I would go with the green Rolex because it was the front. I then discovered I had purchased the famous "Hulk" model. How lucky was that? I then asked Goldsmith's to get me a Rolex Daytona with a white dial. Obviously, there was going to be quite a long wait. However, within a month they telephoned me to tell me that they have a Rolex Daytona but it had a black dial. I wasn't going to argue so I purchased it. The serial number is 116520. I only discovered in the last few days that the watch I paid £7800 for is worth nearly 3 times as much now. Not a bad purchase.
