I went to the AD today to see what they've got, not in the market right now since it's not even a month since my last purchase, but I still went.

I was surprised to find that they received 40 (yes, forty) SS Daytona's because the shop is celebrating the 40th anniversary and it was the way Rolex said thanks for being a dealer for so long.

All SS Daytonas received have a white dial and they're selling them for $11,500 (16% VAT included) in Mexico City, as a gift with every one they're giving out a Rolex single watch winder.

Needless to say I for a moment I started to get nervous and thought about giving my credit card to the guy, fortunately I remained calm and didn't.

If anybody's looking for one and is coming to Mexico City, this is your chance...

Wowza! The place where I work has been selling Rolex for almost 50 years, no such luck on masses of Daytonas

Still, what a way to celebrate

dardeca · 25 April 2010, 11:37 AM

Never heard of Rolex doing that before...must be amazing to see 40 SS Daytonas together at one time.

gregmoeck · 25 April 2010, 11:41 AM

40 in all white? seriously? Why are black so hard to get?

therolexguy · 25 April 2010, 12:45 PM

Love to see a picture of that.

Watchdog · 25 April 2010, 01:13 PM

Interesting. Not a fan of the SS Daytona, as I have always thought the watch appeared tiny in person and the "elusive" factor in the last couple years was pure marketing/hype. But still I can't imagine any AD getting 40 of them at one time. Most I've ever known at any one AD at one time in stock was two.

If this AD did indeed get 40, I hope all those who desire the watch get it!

Mockingbird · 25 April 2010, 01:08 PM

WOW!!!! That's a LOT of Daytonas!

x2 ... 40 SS Daytona and they give watch winders . I would like to know how many SS Daytona's that Bucherer could get on that basis ....

teo · 25 April 2010, 09:50 PM

My AD got 4000 ss daytona in show case. Each ss daytona purchased will be given a free leopard daytona.

If I see 40 ss daytonas at a single store...i would run away as fast as I can..It would be the biggest scam in the history of Tolex ..sorry Rolex

BASSETHOUNDS · 27 April 2010, 03:27 AM

Here is the story : As promised I just called them : Peyrelongue Chronos tel.+525552815050 , press 2 for watches .
I spoke to a very charming lady that was willing to put me on the list as there are still some available as they are still coming in as and when .
Yes ,it is somewhere true . Peyrelongue Chronos a Rolex AD , the owner did negotiate a special favor with Rolex Mexico for their 40th birthday . They were promised 40 pieces of 116520 which they engrave on the back for the anniversary or not . At no time there have been 40 Daytona's in the shop , all these were via pre-sales for existing customers .
At the end of the day ... no big deal . I know that Chow Tai Fook get between 60 and 80 Daytona 116520 a year . But never 40 at one time !

Mmmm Black faced SS Daytona...

I'll try to go back and take a pic, it's true.

The only thing I didn't like is that all of them had engraved backs, the logo and name of the shop and 1969-2009.

Anyone else in Mexico City? Take a look at Peyrelongue in Masaryk, on the 1st floor (below street level) to the right of the stairs and center display.

TurboWatch · 25 April 2010, 03:53 PM

but the sales people could be pulling your legs. I deal with large and small ADs here in the states, some of them have been Rolex AD for 50 years, and at no times, I see that they have more than 2 SS Daytonas in stock.

Pictures or else the sales people are BSing

X2.. I don't like it either.. I think the AD should supply a spare (Plane) back for free with every Daytona as some buyers may prefer to have a plane back!

Colnago · 25 April 2010, 04:00 PM

They have a website...

http://www.chronos.com.mx

But it is very slow (certainly here for me it is anyway) and I cannot seem to get any Rolex details on it......

jcgs · 25 April 2010, 04:08 PM

I saw the watches, not all 40, but at least 18 in the same display case, I tried one on taken from that very display case.

Sorry I can't seem to convince anyone without pictures, all I can do is say I saw them.

Anyone interested in coming to Mexico City to certify it?

Anyone that shows up to the store on Monday and what I say isn't so will get a plane ticket refund from me...

Sorry, getting a little frustrated here. If a moderator could please delete the thread to save us all the aggravation would be great.

jrpb · 25 April 2010, 04:12 PM

haha dont worry mate there only winding you up about the pics, we beleive you it must be a beutiful site to see.
And very tempting as you say to get out the plastic.

Speed · 25 April 2010, 04:13 PM

Wow...to pay all that money only to have the AD name engraved on the watch? They would have to give me a 50% discount to do that...I would then promptly get a new caseback!

Colnago · 25 April 2010, 04:16 PM

The engraving could always be removed, as long as it isn't too deep of course....but those watches would be prime candidates for the clear caseback treatment!....I would just love to see them all in one place all at the same time...I am not doubting here by the way, I just think it would be a spectacular and one off photo

SDDS · 25 April 2010, 07:24 PM

great watch and a great gift

walds11 · 25 April 2010, 07:38 PM

Hard to believe. I'd love to see pics.

Puffy · 25 April 2010, 07:44 PM

I'd pay to see a photo of that!!

HL65 · 25 April 2010, 08:11 PM

Pretty amazing--shame they engraved the backs though!
