So happy dreams do come true
Since 2018 (typed a 6 instead of 8 due to excitement now changed) I have loved the 126711CHNR
It is my dream Rolex. Last Thursday I went into an AD with my Air-King on thr 116900. With the busy dial my first rolex. Spoke with the main man in the AD talked about the current situation with lists and that my favourite watch is the rootbeer. We then went through how long it would take to get various models such as hulks, new batman and stainless daytona. AD said that they were now looking at people differant and choosing people who won't buy a watch to flip. AD mentioned that they have even blacklisted some.who have been buying for local jewellers to sell on. He said the list for the CHNR would be a minimum of 6 months but more likely 18 At the end of our conversation I asked if I could be put on the list for a CHNR as it's my dream watch. The AD said I like it when I make people's dreams come true. So today at work I got the call a CHNR had come in and as far as he was concerned it had my name on it. So an afternoon off.rush to the bank and a trip to the AD I am now the proud owner of the most beautiful watch I have seen a rose gold and steel masterpiece... Dreams do come true five days after chatting to an AD ..can't believe it ..I am well happy Last edited by cop414; 18 April 2019 at 08:01 PM.. Reason: Picture |

My local has one in the safe. I want it so bad, I do not have the disposable income at this time to buy it though.

Huge congrats on your acquisition! It's a beautiful watch you had a great experience. It shows that use of waiting lists are totally at the discretion of the sales advisors. That's probably why Rolex ADs have changed the language in recent years to "registration of interest" because it's really not worth their while lately. Enjoy the watch in the best of health.

That’s a nice story. Congrats on a beautiful watch! I had a similar chat with a London AD who I have no previously purchase history with and he was saying the same, it’s been coming from management. They’re trying to ensure no flippers etc

Perhaps your sincerity coupled with an appropriate demeanor convinced the 'main man' you will be one who will keep and enjoy the piece. Well done on a really gorgeous combination. Many happy years of ownership to you.

Hard to argue if some would call this the most beautiful Rolex ever made. Huge congrats.
Your AD is a class act
