I went to a Rolex AD in Virginia, and they have an "exhibition" Yachtmaster 126655 Everrose. I wanted to buy it and was told they will put me on the list? But it's been sitting. there for awhile.

I get my other rolexes serviced there as well. I didn't haggle price or anything just wanted to buy?

Any thoughts?

They are going to pretend there is a ton of demand for that watch. Be patient.

Keep asking to buy it, and this is why.

My TT Sea Dweller was an EO piece in the cabinet when I asked to try it on, happy that it was the watch for me I asked the SA if I could buy it, after checking with the boss the SA came back and said yes. Purely by chance I was back in the store a couple of days later and in the cabinet was a new TT Sea Dweller.

I guess that either they had two - one on display and one in the safe or they knew that they had another coming in that they could put on display so were happy to sell me the one in the cabinet.

Ok thanks its strange because a sale is a sale and its sitting there LOL that's why customers go to the gray market and I have not had any bad experiences going that route, however tis was a good price $30K

Rolex requires the AD's to keep a certain inventory as "exhibition" pieces. They must stay there for a certain time period at which time they can then sell them. If they get another of the same watch in they can then sell it but replace it with another "exhibition" of the same model.

Yes, you are correct, and sometimes too smart!

My AD said they keep a watch as exhibition until they get another one of that watch in.

Roddypeepa · Today, 04:24 AM

A watch like that that’s available under list? I know what I would do.

They're going to have you coming in for a watch that sells under retail. I'm pretty sure they know this.

I'd just go grey, save a few 1000, and get it tomorrow. Treat yourself to a nice meal!

Good luck, I hope you land it soon.

Thoughts are, just wait until they call then pay.

Exhibition watches aren’t for sale. I tried the same thing on a RG Daytona OF … and it was for my wife’s 25th anniversary. I had bought a WG OF Daytona from them in 2019, but they would not budge. Weeks later, that RG Daytona was no longer on display. I asked and they said they sent it back to Rolex. Huh …

From what I understand those watches that are for display only eventually Rolex will contact the authorized dealer and release one of those watches for sale so it is a good idea to let them know if you have one in that display only case that you are most particularly interested in that you let them know every time you go in that you would like to purchase one of those and who knows.

Since you get your other Rolexes serviced there, maybe you could casually ask about the wait time or if there's anything you can do to help speed things along?

Keep asking for it. Show up every week.

The DMV area ADs give me such a headache

It's been nearly 3 years and zero luck on anything
