Deep Sea Blue spotted in Boston AD
Cruising around the shops at the Prudential Center in Boston. D-Blue in the case since last Thursday! Store manager told me they get one D-Blue every two months. Anyone wants it call them up.

I just don't understand Rolex. If the demand in the UK is there, why not just send them the watches. I feel for you mates.

I hate to say this guys -- but -- the gentleman I spoke with "Benny" told me demand has lessened for the D-Blue.. I couldn't believe my ears..

Sure the demand is lessened if you are purchasing at retail + tax. I doubt this store will give any discount. I could find you a D-blue at retail + tax literally any day of the week in Canada with a few phone calls to AD's.

oh man oh man.... I had a very hard time justifying paying $1500 or so extra for a BLNR compared to the black GMT, just for the half blue ceramic bezel and blue GMT hand.... and here the difference in the price is even worse... just about $2k in MSRP (and even more in real life due to bigger discount on black only perhaps), just for a dial color... which looks BLACK under some circumstances anyway???

Quite infuriating to see and hear of such easy availability of stock in US/Canada. A friend of mine has been on the list for a D-Blue here in the UK since around March of this year...
