congrats! how long did it take to get? i put in a request last month but didn't really get a timeline from my AD. i'm in no rush, though. i also have a Tudor Black Bay Pro on request.
I asked a few months ago, but with no real timeline in place. I texted the AD to let him know I'd in the area and the owner said they had one in the back and held it for me!

I have the opportunity to buy a Submariner Date at MSRP from my AD, but I think I'm going to pass. I already have a Sea-Dweller and my son who will be graduating next June said he rather have cash.

When my AD called, I was hoping they had the Panda or Batman I've been waiting years for.

Am I crazy to pass up the Sub at MSRP? I'm not a flipper, and none of my friends at the moment are in the market for a Rolex....

Nope. It’s the right move. Passing sometimes gets you the ones you want faster (shows the AD you’re not a flipper).


You have terrific taste, btw. Two of my favorites



EDIT - wow couldnt get pic to work

(stating fact - I am not rationalizing the way it works at all, it's a really annoying game to get what you want IMHO)

I got my 116500LN from them October 2019. About a month before they called and offered me a sub. I passed.

I hope you have the same luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you.

We were very lucky early in 2021 from ADs here in Massachusetts. I was able to acquire my Sea-Dweller (Lux Bond & Green), and my wife found a 34mm two-tone AP Royal Oak (Boston Boutique), and a 37mm chocolate faced Yacht-Master (Big AD)....all year 2021 pieces at MSRP.

I ended up passing on the Submariner today....

But I reminded my AD I was still interested in a Panda and a Batman.

Got the Explorer II serviced for the first time in over 9 years...very glad I did.

Picked up a 116655 (pre-owned) last week...didn't have a 40MM or Yacht-Master and really dig the matte black cerachrom with everose

First smart watch (Samsung Watch5 pro) and I'm on the fence...has great features/tech so it could prove useful when working or traveling. Time will tell

I can’t find a gmt from an AD to save my life. Been wanting the batman jubilee for years but can’t afford to pay resale. I’m a cop so the color scheme is perfect. Want to eventually hand down to my little guy. Will be in the family forever! I get laughed at by the AD’s when I ask about this watch lol!! Any suggestions?

picked up a 2018 GMT Batman on secondary market for 14,5k. It's above MSRP but I wasn't going to be $20k+ for new model year

Saw this on AliExpress and had to laugh.

Sure looks like the new model of the AirKing, although it doesn't have the new crown guards.....

Sheesh.

I’ve been trying to find an Air King, on a couple AD lists.

Guess these things take time.

Congrats!! Are you on TRF? I recall a similar thread recently on a no date Sub. I actually like the no date over a date Sub.

I’m not on TRF but I did make a post on the Rolex collectors FB group. I love the symmetry of the no date but of course you can’t go wrong with either!
