Contrary to everyone's belief that ADs sit on these models en-masse in their vault, I know that small ADs get a shipment of these 1-4x a year, i.e. they receive small quantities of the hot SS models. Similarly can be said that the bigger ADs (tier 1s) only receive these models 1-2x a month. They used to receive 2 SS Subs a week, now they receive 1. And everyone keeps talking about supply not being cut, but demand just gone up 100-fold.

@OP since you have great relationship with them, perhaps ask them how much they receive now compared to 4 years ago.

Congrats on a beautiful piece. Well-deserved. Hope your AD survives Rolex's annual review of their sales.

Thanks so much! Watch collecting should be an enjoyable endeavor. I still believe the Rolex Forum is the classiest place on the internet.

They gave me my choice between them, but the one I didn’t pick was going to someone else.

Also I certainly wouldn’t have been able to afford both since I just picked up an Air-King last month.

Here’s some pics of the Batman. What a stunner!

Beautiful addition. That’s wonderful that your AD is really straight up. There’s something to be said about working with businesses in smaller markets. Congrats on only having to wait 6 months!

Something from Lange. The 1815 up/down I think. But a Saxonia thin would work too.

If I stick with Rolex I’d love a day date.

That's good to hear. Wish it worked that way more often cause it seems like it ended up on the right wrist. Enjoy and happy anniversary.

Excellent and congratulations.

Personally, I have no time, inclination nor money to "build a relationship". If the piece is available, great. If not, my money goes elsewhere, simple as that.

Rolex, supreme teasing machine
