    I love the colour, but about £7000 more than I would be willing to spend.

    I think it's just a dealer trying it on.

    This one is £9.5k: https://www.watchesworld.com/shop/ro...etual-36mm-22/

    I suspect with this colour/size there is a chance of finding someone with money to burn that needs it right now and is willing to pay.

    It's Tiffany blue. Gotta pay for that and it's the Watch Club. Gotta pay those club dues

    Not even the large model, ,so should get a discount

    That's not Tiffany Blue.

    Yes, but was just using it an example of the coloured Rolex OPs being heavily marked up. I've assumed the blue dial isn't an actual Tiffany collaboration and the OP is remarking at the high price versus RRP? Or have I missed the point. Sorry - it was an ambiguous post for those of us not expert at Rolex dealing.

    I just thought it was a totally ridiculous OTT price and they are trying it on using the word Tiffany to sucker punters in. But, maybe there was more to it; but looks like not as nobody has indicated otherwise. Can’t think Tiffany would be too impressed.

    I don't think Rolex uses the term Tiffany. Maybe abraxas knows?

    All a bit tedious now.

    Though maybe you won't get mugged wearing it?

    Otherwise, no... I don’t think so.

    It' just a name used by the seller, hoping it will stick. Rolex didn't call them Stela either, but here we are. Any excuse to raise the price.
