Got a surprise from my AD

[Angi]

Last week I had a little misunderstanding with my AD and I guess I displayed my frustration a little more then usual...the next day I went on a 5 day camping trip. When I got back literally 10 minutes in the door my sales lady texts me asking how my trip was. She then apologized for what happened and casually told me she has the new 126610LN that came in Friday and she held for me. Couldn’t believe how it all went down lol but I ended up with a sweet addition to the collection

How does it wear? I guess I mean the 41 size compared to the 40 Sub or GMT Oh, I almost forgot, Congratulations!

[Angi]

Definitely chunkier....I have had a 40mm Sub before and I currently wear a ss GMT as a daily. And it wears way differently, not sure if I like it more or less yet. But I definitely like it regardless! I’ll post more pics

Looks fantastic and congrats on the new Sub. Doesn’t look chunky at all and seems to fit you well.

What a beauty. It’s when we think that a Sub can’t have more presence Rolex came out with this reference. The more I see it the more I love it.
Just look how seemingly the case lines flow with the bracelet compared to the GMT. A very beautiful and balanced watch.
Congratulations.

Nice watch!

Congratulations!

[mimariani]

Great comparison...and congrats.

[donas]

Congrats....I'd like to hear the details of the drama that led to this outcome, lol. The clasp looks like it has grown substantially, does it feel huge or is it the camera angle?

Yeah, I’d like to see the Sub clasp next to the SD43 clasp

Haha it does feel big! Like when I look down at my wrist now...BOOM clasp in your face haha but I like it.

And for the details....2 weeks ago, I decided I wanted a black sub for myself..I was at the AD making a deposit for a meteorite dial Daydate and mentioned it. My sales lady said she will enquire with the manager..this is before we knew a new Submariner was coming out. Of course there were rumours but we didn’t know. A few days later she told me to come make a deposit but I was busy so we set a day for Tuesday... wich ironically was the day after Rolex announced the NEW Sub. Sooo that Monday when they announced it Txt my sales lady asking if I can get the green one. I have always hounded her for a hulk. She said just come Tuesday and we will figure something out. She’s pretty sure she can make it happen. But regardless I can make the deposit for a black one. Sooo I show up Tuesday and the manager tells me they just had a meeting and they can’t take deposits now.... so I drove all the way there and back on a very busy day for no reason. I have spent a nice amount at this AD and I do like them.... so I politely left but didn’t really say much other then I don’t want to waste anymore time in my day. Later on i msgd my sales lady and just explained to her how crazy it is to have me drive there to be told this. A text message would have saved us all some time lol and mentioned that I’m on the road so much for work and so busy. I wasted a hour each way and I only have 3 hours a day of my own time... sorry for the ramble but i figured it worth telling

I’m going to text my SA the same thing. Instead of a meteorite DD I’m going to swap it out with the new OP41. Lol. Jk. Yeah you had every right to be mad. You have a good sales associate to get you the sub so quickly.

On a serious note I just bought a gold Daytona and I’m not even promised a new sub. I have too inquired about the green one. From what I understand the new sub is going to be very difficult to acquire even for repeat customers. If you have no buying history it will be next to impossible unless the market dramatically changes. I was told if you have no purchase history no SS sports will be available to buy. I think a lot of OP 41s will be sold as the price of entry. If that’s even good enough. Anyways congratulations!

Yea, I'd be a little aggravated too. It is just silly how every AD is coming up with their own "rules" and all blaming Rolex.

This really hits home on how silly this entire game is. Rolex, customers, AD’s, gray dealers. All of it. When you hear a story like this it really makes you think.... are we all bonkers?!? But I’m glad it worked out for you regardless!

Stunning piece.

[928ktgold]

Interesting story and great outcome. Thanks

[JSolution]

Lucky to get one so early. Have to say, I’m more interested in the fact you were there putting a deposit down on a meteorite day date, how long did they tell you the wait is?

Just going to leave this here for you.

The meteorite DD is stunning. My AD has the diamond baguette version sitting in the case.

Op, congrats on a great incoming, glad it all worked out for the best.

Wow! That’s just toooo stunning right there. I have always wanted a cool WG DD....I already have the YG with diamond dial, I do love the watch. It’s like my youthful watch lol but it being so flashy i don’t wear it much. So the meteorite seemed a bit more suitable for my style. Low key to most....but Imo 10x more appealing then any diamonds. they didn’t want to give me a exact time frame but based on there track record with me I see it coming in 7-12 months. I also have deposits on a panda and blue dial dweller. So the way I look at it anytime I see a text msg show up from the Sales lady...it’s potentially great news now haha and thanks for the picture! Feel free to post a few more

I get on you on that, I love my YG DD, but the white gold meteorite one is just something else completely. I literally can’t stop staring at it when I wear it and I’ve had a little while now. Every angle/ and different distance you look at the dial from it’s completely different. Such a unique watch, I never actually was too keen on WG before this one.

Here’s a couple more to whet your appetite :)

Man, that's a beautiful watch - congrats.

[Rokoru]

Fits you great! I love the new Subs! I tried one on last Saturday and I was impressed. In all excitement I forgot to check the clasp, it looks a little big. I owned a Blackbay some years ago and I loved it and they have 22mm bracelets with no taper. So the Subs new bracelet size and clasp really do not concern me..

[Rochester585]

thank you for providing the back story, I would have had the same reaction as you OP.

I drove all the way here for this?

obviously your sales assistant sympathized. Would be interesting to see what would have become of this if you had just brushed it off and not shown your frustration.

all is well that ends well, enjoy your beautiful new timepiece

[TswaneNguni]

Congrats !
