Thread: Had the call from my AD......

  1. #1

    Had the call from my AD......

    Well, a text, a month ago!

    Had to coincide picking this up with an essential business trip hence the wait, but it’s now in the collection and boy is it lovely!

    Only 18 months on “the list” and I much prefer it to the one I had on the oyster bracelet, much comfier to wear!

    Love the watch but not feeling the Jubilee bracelet on the professional models. It'd be nice if they offered customers more choice though, on whatever watch they wanted, Oyster, Jubilee or Oysterflex.

    It would be good if they offered all 3 when buying.

    I have 3 with oyster, it’s a refreshing change having the jubilee and it is very comfy!

    Good on you mate, I have this piece too and although I think Rolex could’ve done a better job on the jubilee bracelet/clasp combo’ it does make a nice change from the oyster...

    Nice one, looks well worth the wait. Personally, I like the bracelet and I’ve expressed an interest for one of these at my local AD.

    Very very nice, I am on the list for one of those as well but I have a feeling it is going to be a while yet.
    Good to hear that you are so happy with it and the reality matches the expectation!

    Very nice you must be pleased. Am waiting for a Pepsi and ever hopeful one might turn up!
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Congrats - I think the jubilee works on both the BLNR and BLRO.

    I love the look of that GMT on the jubilee. Congrats-cracking watch. Nice collection as well in the background.

    Not my cup of tea, I’m afraid, but I do appreciate the watch & bracelet for what it is - congrats!

    What I do love, though, is that little nook with the watches and parfums! Nice little spot!

    It is a lovely looking watch, I looking into the possibility of getting it's slightly older brother soon, the oyster bracelet version.

    Congratulations on getting sucked in by the hype and marketing:-)
    It is beautiful though personally I prefer oyster.

    100% agree, love the batman but really don't like the Jubilee, the choice would be a great idea, can't be that hard to deliver either.

    Congrats OP, that's a great watch within a sensible turnaround.

    Had the call from my AD......

    I can't help thinking there's a Harry Enfield sketch in that phrase...

    Enjoy your new acquisition!

    Love the colour-scheme, but better on the oyster imho. But it's your opinion that counts. Enjoy.

    I think you have misjudged his attempt at humour!

    I believe that his view is that Rolex make rather splendid watches. It’s just a little jab at some of the sad sops that think Rolex are just overpriced jewellery, rather than well made watches.

    Got the same call back in early December and it’s barely been off my wrist.

    To me, it’s a truly great watch. Enjoy it.

    Not for me mate - Jubilee is a pet hate, but congrats.

    I got a call a couple of weeks back. It’s been a while since my AD contacted me, I thought I’d dropped off their preferred customer list and had just become another optimistic hopeful !
