Great score. My guess is you got very lucky on a watch many people can’t wear because of its size. The stars were just aligned for you IMO on this one.

beautiful piece... I have to start visiting AD's again.
if I get the same BS about there not being anything 'in the back'... I am going to spend my money elsewhere. |

Congratulations! I love this piece, but as others have noted, it does not get on well with my wrist size…

That's a very pretty watch. I wish I could rock a 42mm, but alas, I'm a tiny lad.

Great spec and I am glad to see people getting these from AD's. Its on my list but with a recent BLRO landed at the AD the likely hood of getting one soon is unlikely.
Wear it in great health. |

Congrats got mine last week from my AD as well. It’s a stunner in person and the jubilee works perfect with this one.

Huge congrats! I recall when I got mine in March you mentioned that yours will take several years. Well, couple of months and here it is. Great that it is also on jubilee.
Wear it in best of health! |

![]() ![]() ![]() That is not how it works, at least for a few years now. Instead of you thinking its "I'll spend my money elsewhere", look at it how it actually is: The dealer saying "I'd rather have another guy's money than his". ![]()

We do spend in there but we don't spend big. My wife picked up some nice jewellery today when I was chatting with the watch people, all of it at half price. We do visit but we don't visit often. I think it's important to stay in touch, get to know people and onto first name terms, and make a point of buying something as opposed to going in just to remind them that you want something. And be patient. It won't happen overnight.
I think the demand is falling also. My AD could still sell way more Rolex watches in a week than they could get in a year, but the insanity seems to be draining a bit and like other ADs I have heard about second hand, they are managing lists more proactively. Another anecdote from my AD today. They recently sold a boxed, stickered 16610LV with papers, that they originally sold. Back in the early 2000s they didn't routinely remove stickers. They do now. The SA really wanted to buy it for himself as a fan of the Kermit (BTW he called it a Kermit but I didn't pull him up on that - I'm not the nickname police). They thought the optics wouldn't be good so it was sold to a customer who they knew was looking for one. |

Congrats on that beauty. I love my black dial ( bright black ) and is one of my favorites in the collection. Blue dial is the most desired one so I cannot sssune someone would pass on that.

P.S. WRT an earlier comment. I have checked for AR and I'm confident my watch doesn't have it. It doesn't bother me, but I'd rather have it if I can get it. |
