Nope, nothing. But he is happy to sell me a Panerai or JLC..\

I just purchased a Root Beer via Nashville Watch and it is beautiful. And the price was great, within 10% of retail... vs. the 50% to 100% markups you will find for a SS GMT.

You’ll be waiting far too long. Pony up for grey or move on. Unfortunately the people who will get one allocated already know they are getting one because they get everything. They are called family members of the owner.

My grey market example has seen copious amounts of wrist time this summer. You can get one for 5k less than I paid

I think it will fit just fine. I tried one on a few months back and was surprised how well it fit. Going in I had thought the same that it would be too big. It’s a really nice one. Hope you get the call soon.

Small wrist and looking for Rolex in titanium? Why not get a Pelagos 39?? Not to mention it's like 20% of the price. Amazing looking and feeling watch, I would have bought one but I really wanted a GMT.

Here my fxd next to the ti ym. Sizing is almost the same. The to YM wears really good due to being so light.

Good luck! I hope your AD was being honest with you. He may know he’s getting one, and will make sure it’s yours. Please post pics when you acquire it.

I love the strap on the Tudor, where did you get it? I have that exact watch and have been thinking of trying something like that.

I've had at this point probably close to 50 or 60 straps. All brands and price range up to $200 natos This is the most comfortable by far. I have them on some of my rolexs as well. It's slightly elastic. I didnt order from AliExpress but it's the same. My relative took a trip to China and I asked her to bring me back a bunch of these. U can find them on Amazon for $10 each. Why pay $7 more ?

I like it, especially the weight of them (nill).

But for the price they don’t shine like I would like to, they feel even a bit Tudor-y. Perhaps mirror polished flanks would have solved this for me.
