For those who have trouble getting on lists

It’s always the same cycle, Rolex launches something, everybody starts by being super critical, little by little the incomings start and after about a year the watch is total unobtainium and everyone is whining about availability.

It was that way with the colorful OPs, it was that way with the BLNR, it was that way with the YG green Daytona, it was that way with so many other references. Of course, there is the occasional ceramic Daytona or BLRO where everybody wants one from day one, but most of the time, there is a window of a few weeks where one has the opportunity to actually get something.

So while everybody still has their eyes crossed from that new backwards GMT, try getting on a list for the excellent iteration of the Airking now while the response is lukewarm and thank me later. Or don’t, but then don’t come around complaining when everybody wants one.

Not trying to hype anything, just highlighting a dynamic people often seem to miss and are sad about down the road.

Generally with Rolex, always move in when you have a feeling that it’s odd that the general public seems to be sleeping on it.

PSA over, hope all of you who want one of the novelties get what you desire!
