One of the pins in my Pepsi came loose and I happen to be in Cribbs Causeway at the moment so I’ve just popped in to Goldsmiths. The lady in there was very helpful and friendly, took it out the back...

I thought you implied that those models were available? To me they aren’t available as already sold, just put on display for a while.

I wouldn’t think so. More likely some of them could be sold/allocated and are just in the window for x amount of time. I know that’s the case with a couple of watches near me.

Someone I know went into the AD that he deals with to look at a watch that had been sold, but he wanted to get an idea of what it was like. Whilst he was there they said they had a watch in the safe...

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are all okay?

I’ve read about that a few times in the SOF and parts of Spain I think in the last few years. Not sure but think it might have happened to Piers Morgan...

Probably got a lot to flog.

Are you saying all the people not playing the Rolex game are still not playing the Rolex game and letting us know they still aren’t playing the Rolex game? :biggrin-new:

Yes you are.

Gareth posted to say that Rolex were wholesale and not retail and they don’t tell them who to sell to etc and you said ‘I know this to not be correct’. You were then talking about...

Very true ^^^ and I’m sure Rolex realise that if they ever actually supplied the demand, it would be game over. People are buying all the date justs and bi metals that they previously struggled to...

To be honest you not getting one is simple down to you. I had no relationship with any AD at all and managed to get one in 2013. Took a bit of work, few phone calls etc but I got one. After that it...

That old chestnut eh :-)

So does mine but oddly they have customers that live down under. Plus various other places.

I tried on the green diver when it came out and could have bought it there and then - different story now in the uk (most places I’d imagine), hard to get.

Congrats - the white dial is stunning and any pictures never do it justice.

Way before the insta crowds.

I tried to buy one in Vegas in 2002 when I went into Tourneau in Caesars. They told me I needed a ‘personally in store spend of $100k’ to get one. Over the next 10...

Take a roll of the dice Martyn, book a flight, get yourself over there and hope there’s a steel Daytona or two languishing in an AD window, calling out for you to chap it up :icon_biggrin:

Deep sea blue - JC is for James Cameron the film Director associated with the model.

[QUOTE=RJM25R;5857826]Is that yours? Lucky man if. So, gorgeous piece imho.

A work colleague bought one for just under £19k iirc last year. A few people scoffed at him for overpaying….


Yes...

Steel ones fairly special too :love_heart:

I’d imagine it depends on which gold. Rose gold with slate dial extremely hard to get, yellow gold with white face a bit easier to get, for example.

May be wrong as I’ve not looked into it, but...

I think you’ve misunderstood Gareth’s post - he’s actually saying they are very desirable.

To be fair having exhibition models does make the shop window look much better than an empty display and it’s an opportunity to see and try on some. I saw the 41mm Tiffany OP in one recently so went...

How do you get into this what’s app group?

The only thing I’ve managed to bag in a what’s app group is some honey!




P.S. it’s not even really a group, it’s just me messaging Martyn!
...

All the U.K. AD’s have been on this thread since day one, hence why there’s bugger all ‘Rolex in the windows’ since coincidentally this thread started. They are all in it together, laughing at us...

Thanks for replying. Not a good outcome and I see your frustration, especially with the lack of cooperation.

Anyway now you’ve declined the watch are you going to tell us (your internet pals) the mixed feelings you have about dealing with them? We won’t tell a sole - pinky promise :-)
