I felt the same about my 114060. Just bought it in 2020. Your watch is a hot watch. You AD should be able to give you MSRP for your 11 and you can put that towards the 12, giving you priority. Then while you are at it get another sub. That is how I got the bluesy. Nothing wrong with yours, but I understand the TRF 12 pressure!

Same in the South West. No beverages.

I think the white font isn't a bad idea because it gives prospective buyers more choice, unless they must have the new model. I prefer the yellow gold font of the 116613LB. Bluseys from the 1, 11 and 12 generations have become quite a diverse and interesting bunch.

I have followed your journey and I think you said when looking for a Bluesy you would have been happy with either, congrats on getting the 12 you must be made up, don’t think I’ll trade the 11 but as said try to get the new LN or LV.

Totally! I was waiting for the 11 bluesy, but then the 12 came in. While I was waiting for either the 11 or 12, I decided to trade in my 114060 for the 124060. Week later the bluesy came in, which happened to be the 12. In the real world the difference is very small. You can see many prefer the gold text, so there is value in that as well. Keep us posted!

Congrats OP!

I bought my 126233 last year from WOS Knightsbridge and the service was fantastic! I was having lunch in Harrods with my mother and I called WOS knowing they offered the extra 5 year warranty. They said the watch wasn't in stock but they could send someone to their head office near Oxford Street to go get it!

After lunch we went to the store which is down the road from Harrods and the watch hadn't arrived yet so I was given a tour of the whole store and even taken upstairs into the VIP Rolex rooms full of pave and rainbow Rolex's! Then was given unlimited refreshments which was pleasant.

Then their colleague arrived with the watch fresh in its coffin with all paperwork etc from the head office and boom the deal was done!

Great buying experience! At the time, the store manager was a lovely (& extremely attractive) lady called Emma top top marks for her!

That's what happened to me yesterday and We was treated like royalty with my family in jeans and t- shirts in new WOS Knightsbridge shop.
Very very helpful and welcoming to us, offered drinks and had a chat and then shown the new blue two tone sub.
This watch is stunning, I am so so lucky, thank you to that shop and the manager, who was just so nice, genuine and made us feel very special and for the very first time had that whole fantastic ROLEX experience.
Needless to say I bought the watch and I am delighted. Have seen pictures but
Just cannot capture the true beauty of the dial and darker bezel.
Best wishes to all.
Will try to send pics but old school iPad and poor quality so pic won't be good, it will just make it more amazing when you see one for real!


Happy to read post like this

Congratulations !!!
Same story here... not a big fan when I was lookin at pictures but once she was on my wrist, I had to pull the trigger...
Personally I prefer the white text over the gold one.

Bluesy seems to attract more and more people :)

Huge congrats! Retailers have to act quickly and gather any business they can seeing that several regional lockdowns were implemented and the media pushing the rising R number. Additionally the government has also just taken a hardline on self-isolation rules. With the drop of the hat lockdown can be implemented at any given moment when the government decides. Enjoy the watch in the best of health.
