Thanks Allen. Apparently that dealer has a good reputation.

Just spoke with them, they do not have one yet, they're just hanging a golden carrot out there so those looking for one will contact them and get on "the list".

I have seen them do this before and they are grey market as well. I am sure that when / if they do get one the price tag is going to be hefty. And I doubt if they will get them prior to AD's.

No need to just doubt. It's the ADs and customers buying from the ADs that will fuel the GM on these models. Unless someone hijacks a Rolex truck, the first ones we'll see posted here will be from legit, distro channels.

Just FYI about LuxuryBazaar. They are a valid grey dealer and do have cheaper prices than any other I have seen if you have a reference. I almost bought a watch from them. They post all watches online, but don't always have it in stock, they can usually get it in a decent amount of time......but maybe not this one!

Mik,
So right. Lots of these guys, to include Furman, "list" watches, but don't procure until they get a client -- especially on expensive models. I guess it's an inventory cost issue. Essential Watches is another one with "pics" rather than watches in many cases.

I figured it wasn't in stock by the ad - and I remain skeptical whether the first ones have hit the streets. We would have heard more or seen them on ebay by now.

Just spoke to one of the largest dealers in the US for Rolex (California) who has just received the first Rose Gold Daytona in the US few hours ago. He said the new Deep Sea will be coming to them in November and they will be one of the first to get it!

I do hope he is wrong, because thats a very long wait!!
