Finally I got a Rolex.

Hi everyone.

I live in Korea, and a few months ago, I mentioned that I could get the 126610LV model in Las Vegas. (A lot of people asked me, “Are you out of your mind?” Lol)

Last week, I finally got a Submariner date black. Buying a Rolex in Korea is extremely difficult. Customers have to make reservations online at midnight on the last day of each month, but it’s nearly impossible to access the system because thousands of people log in at the same time, causing the server to become overloaded.

I’ve been trying for a year and managed to secure three reservations to buy a Rolex. However, the first two times felt more like interviews. I had to explain why I wanted a Rolex and my reasons for choosing a specific model. I even handed over my business card. On my third attempt, I was finally able to purchase one. Initially, I told them I wanted a Submariner with a green bezel or a GMT Master II, but it seemed like they had already decided on this model for me, so I bought it. (And there was no guarantee that I could buy it next time if I didn’t buy it this time.)

Because of their policy, I can’t buy another professional model for a year. However, the dealer was incredibly kind and already knew me quite well, including my job and personal circumstances. Next year, I’ll aim for the green bezel model or another GMT Master II.

Thank you.

Let me know if you’d like any further refinements!
