Patrick Mahomes handing out Submariners
Didn't see this talked about on here already, so hopefully not a repost. Do you guys think even somebody with his resources had to go to a gray (or several) to nab a half dozen Subs? To be clear, the actual number wasn't mentioned but I'm guessing 4-6 groomsmen for something like this... just seems like that would be beyond what any AD had access to even if they were willing to direct everything your way.

No, he will have bought them direct. Different world for them guys and the marketing department would have been stupid not to say yes.

He went to an AD from what I believe. And I have no doubt that the AD was able to hook it up

And this is what the trash magazine writes…..”As for Mahomes' future groomsmen ... his little bro, Jackson, revealed the Chiefs QB gave out personalized flasks, a shot of Fireball, and a silver Rollie.”.
This is about the extent the world cares what model and material your Rolex is on your wrist. It’s a “silver Rollie”. ![]() I guarantee you Patrick got those watches below MSRP and could just as easily had SS Daytona’s. |

No. He told his agent he needs 6 subs and the agent called whoever he needed to at Rolex. They are hard to get for normal people, not for him.

I thought about posting when I read. Grey or not he made a seller happy.

However, I'll just point out: It never said they were all identical... Perhaps his brother got the Sub, and the rest of the groomsmen got the TT DJ31s he had to buy in order to get that Sub. ![]() ![]() |

This. Many folks in his situation don’t look at the bill immediately after so they don’t even know if this was AD or grey. Nor do they care. Remember when Jay Z bought a bunch of gold Daytonas as party invites? Nobody thinks he went AD to AD to pick these all up lol.

If he went grey and paid 10k over total msrp that's not a big deal anyway.

It's not much of a big deal for him to pull this through...
I believe it was from an AD. |

I’m sure he just bought it at a grey dealer. Not many ADs have six Submariners sitting around nor could they order up 6 Subs. And do you really think he cared about paying the mark-up.

Important question: Did the watches come with bezel protectors?

Zero chance these were from a grey. It is a different world for these people and I would
be shocked if he could not get whatever he wanted from an AD at the snap of his (or his agents) fingers. |

Not a chance in Hell he went grey. One of his keepers, maybe. When you’ve got fame and dumb money at your disposal, I presume it drops the AD’s proverbial panties faster than any of us could shake a stick. SA doesn’t go home and say they sold Tom Nobody that spends 200k a year a Rolex they wanted, I bet they go home and say they sold Patrick Mahomes 6 Rolex’s today. They probably even brag about the fact they weren’t that hard to source, maybe a hoop here or there but it wasn’t for a random vip so even other AD’s would probably jump at the chance to help source a watch to him.

I'm calling up the local AD tomorrow and telling them I'm Tom Brady's agent and he needs 6 Daytona's for his linemen as gifts for winning the Superbowl. Who's going to know the difference?

A phone call from his agent or whomever is about all it would take.
Bruno Mars got his entire band YG 15202BA after a successful tour. Taking care of influential people is good business.

I imagine Pat Mahomes would potentially be in the same class of people who are able to get the rainbow Daytona haha
