Ordered My First Rolex

I called around to a couple of ADs and found one with a SS Daytona (white face) in stock. It's the model I wanted, and I got it for MSRP. Apparently the AD received it a week ago, and had it for the owner of a Toyota dealership. Given with what's going on with Toyota, he decided to pass.

I am psyched!!!! It should arrive on Monday.

I am sure you will love your Daytona, but it sounds like your AD has a big mouth.

I'd be disappointed if personal things I might have said to an AD were repeated. These kind of sales should be private.

Many congrats!

The same thing happened to me 3 months ago and I called around and eventually found a SS Daytona White Face.

They are like hens teeth in the UK, so im glad I got mine.....

And well done on getting yours :)

A white dial SS Daytona!
That's a heck of a way to break into the Rolex world... some of us needed to go through three or four before we could get the Daytona! lol

Can't wait to see pictures.
