I’d love a 126710BLRO. It’s my grail watch and have been lusting over it for years.

Love this idea! I've been on the hunt for a 126622 (happy with either a blue or rhodium dial)

Are you saying we need to vet and qualify the TRFer, review their previous purchases, hold onto the warranty card for six months, and make them sign an agreement not to sell for three (3) years?

A couple of observations.

1. Interesting how a bunch of people with 10 posts to their name suddenly pop their head out to express interest in a dream Rolex.

2. Now I know how the SAs feel. Everybody wants ONLY the hot pieces. Pepsi, Pepsi, Pepsi. Where are the TT YMII lovers? Or the Cellini Date lovers? Or the $50,000 diamond bezel DD36 lovers?

Pretty cool. For me the 226570 black. Can’t wait to see how this plays out.

Fun. Skydweller Blue for me. Either bracelet, while Jubilee preferred.

I am guessing a 36mm DateJust will be the best you will find.
There’s one at Timeless that they’ve had a couple weeks. Diamond markers. I’m sure they’d cut a smoking deal!

I'd be interested in a Deepsea if you are offered one and don't love it, but I hope you get your dream watch, or at least far in love with whatever you get! Good luck OP!

If you stumble upon a SS, black-dial Sky-Dweller 326934, and you don’t want it for yourself, I’d be thrilled to purchase it from you.

Ans thank you!!!

I think it’s great

That you are doing this. Love the idea and can’t wait to see the result. I don’t need another watch and am fortunate to have the ones I have. I hope your endeavor brings happiness to one of the TRF members.

I don’t like the Sky-Dweller... so cross your fingers.

Good news for me, I’d say. Fingers crossed! Thanks again.

I'm going to visit a few Rolex stores THIS WEEK and I'm going to buy the FIRST piece I'm offered -- no matter what it is! And, if I love it, I'm going to keep it. If I don't 100% love it, I will make it available to a TRFer who wants it. I'll pay it forward to a Rolex lover who really loves the piece.

I'm up for the challenge. Will I be offered anything at all? Will I end up with a Datejust with diamond bezel? Will I get a YG Daytona? Who knows? If it's a nice one, I'll snatch it away from the evil flippers and release into the TRF universe - the home of all pure and Rolex-worthy watch lovers.

Edit: If you have a dream watch, please be super specific.
I see diamonds and gold in your future.
