Wasn’t there a 43mm seadweller unworn for pretty much RRP that didn’t fly out the door in SC recently?

I agree Kerry.
Only met one who turned out to be a proper 'wrong un'.

When did we meet?

We're you trying to figure out who it was?
All available to buy in Kos

Does say for exhibition only but assume you asked.
Plenty for the ladies in that lot.
Pre-covid Milgauss were everywhere haha
Yea the ones in Kos were all for sale. They had a white gold gmt inside too.

Meant “on the wrist” but I take your point. I like it, for what that’s worth!
I’ve been looking for a blurred Milgauss for years. I nearly snagged one from a well known authorised dealer in Liverpool who do not begin with G who shit on me, so it wasn’t to be.
Despite being discontinued, the production run was long enough and I think they’ll drop quicker and faster than Submariners, etc., so hopefully you’ll find one before too long.
Quick query on Rolex DateJust & seeing as this thread generates the majority of replies, thought worth asking on here.
White/ silver dial DJs with Roman Numerals don't see to come with any lume on the newer ones. Looking at some online which seems to be 5-6yrs old have a black line inbetween the numerals and hands, I presume again this isn't lume?
I know the 'Wimbledon' dial has lumed hands, is it possible (as I know you can configure a bit with Rolex) to have lumed hands on the new Roman Numeral dials?
Not sure what the black line is that you speak of but fwiw, I'm pretty sure that the romans on the dials of the previous 6 digit references (116***) were white gold with no lume anywhere. I came very close to getting a white dial with Romans (116234) and that definitely didn't have any lume on it.
Haha, I try my best :)
Only 9 o'clock is lumed. I had received the call on one last year, but decided to pass because I thought the lumed 9 really didn't fit in wiht the roman numerals
Met with the youtuber Charlie today as I was selling a watch to him so rather than post hand delivered it but they do do fully insured post if you were selling or buying.
Very professional operation with a really nice office/boutique in Yorkshire.
I didn't ask to take pics but really nice to be able to see lots of outstanding watches in the the one place.
Really gives you an idea as to how all the dials differ.
Interestingly he had 2 models of the current LV and the shade of green on the 23 model is quite different and more to my taste as It's more like the 5 digit LV.
Yeah good lad and one I trust more than the plain skinned suited and booted poets.

Wow, that would be quite a darker shade then?
I'm with you on liking the green from the 5 digit LVs
Mappin & Webb, Regent Street.
Tried on Sea Dweller, red line, last Saturday and got the call on Monday.
And when I picked up, saw someone pick up a two tone Sub.

I got the call for my everose Yacht Master II this week, two months after I picked my Daytona up. Caught me on the hop coming quite so quickly though. Travel plans mean I can’t get there for a few weeks to pick it up, will be a long wait.
Yeh the pieces that trade under retail are no longer on the radar of the flippers.
Much better for the genuine clients.
Sea dweller over sub any day for me
Entirely, I wouldn’t ask for anything over RRP as that’s where the crowd gathers plus I don’t like many of them personally, less of course a WD Daytona. I wish they would release a 42mm rig Yachtmaster on everrose.
If anyone gets an early call on a RG Daytona or DD please don’t pass it up just let me know as it’ll save a wee wait.
RIAC
Agreed.
I intended to buy the Sub ND, but after seeing and feeling the SD43, the damn thing blew me away.
I was unsure how long the waiting lists were (or if another price increase was around the corner).
It was a present for myself as I will turn 50 next year.
But I might as well wear it for my 49th next month
Lucerne - no prices and little notice about exhibition only

An orange lady?!?
Similar to the picture one here https://www.watchfinder.co.uk/Rolex/...71/item/227524
For any of you guys still waiting for the call, watch fund overflowing and cash burning a hole in your pocket, desperate to buy something. This could be the answer:

Cant imagine after phoning Tyson Fury and Lewis Hamilton that there is much demand.

Harry Kane wears his a lot, so he’s probably not a buyer just now.
There’s an eBay listing from a regular dealer for a Yacht-Master 126655, with a June guarantee card, at list. Surely must have been sold at a discount by the AD? Or expensive buyer’s remorse.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225733856812
It was probably bundled with a highly desirable Rolex

Not sure how difficult these are to get but Westfield Shepherd's Bush the Tudor boutique has the standard FXD and the Red Bull as a walk in. Same mall in Bucherer has the Omega blue dial Bond Seamaster on mesh with the fancy animated caseback and also a Royal Oak, again as walk ins. Here is the Royal Oak as I don't know the reference.

That AP RO and VC are both used watches and, in the case of the AP RO, it's more than double MSRP of the current 15510 and that one is the 15400 which pre-dates the 15500 and 15510 too.
Ah yes damn I forgot Bucherer did pre owned watches. Makes sense now as I did think it odd that would be a walk in watch!
That doesnt really happen or need to happen.
RIAC
Would certainly be interested to know the story!
Just called them - the Red Bull FXD is display only. Didn’t ask about the standard one as I already have one!Not sure how difficult these are to get but Westfield Shepherd's Bush the Tudor boutique has the standard FXD and the Red Bull as a walk in.

Ah that's a shame, it was in the display window with their other watches and had a price and no exhibition only sign so that's not cool from Tudor
It will be like the hundreds I have dealt with and either buyers remorse or freeing up cash
RIAC
Agreed - the sales assistant actually laughed when I asked if it was for sale. How stupid of me to suggest a watch, in a shop window, with a price on could actually be for sale!
well if it continues like this they won't be laughing for much longer. Literally every Tudor is now in the windows to instantly buy, this will be no different. watch shops I've seen recently don't look very busy......
FXD, BB 54 and P39 in the window of goldsmiths in church street Liverpool.
BB58 gold looked awful too in DM robinson.

First time in along time I have seen a used ceramic sub sell for below cost of a new one.(yes there is a 6% buyer fee) but it does seem the premium for Rolex subs is fast evaporating.
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 that hadn’t been sold and turned out it was the 41mm OP celebration dial. They said not one had asked about it and therefore he could have it. Said it had to go in the window for a month but it was his, so he agreed to buy it. Whether anyone could have got it I don’t know as he buys a lot from them.
