We'll see:-)
Just got the call that it's in. 3 weeks on the nose from the day the deposit was placed.

I was on a list since July 2017 and got the call yesterday. I had to pass, so hopefully we were on the same list. Good luck!

Picked up mine today from AD. I had to rush in. First come first serve is their policy.

Jumped in a cab from work and was in their store in less than 10 minutes.

Bought it at msrp, no discount.

Paid and left. There were no issues such as any policy from Rolex to remove stickers and such. Got all the goodies, and the hangtags and they sent me off with the goods in a swank green Rolex embossed paper bag.

From my own observation, these things have been coming into my AD on a weekly basis now since mid February. I missed the first one, and didn't get a call on the second. This is the 3rd in 3 weeks.

Sounds like these are actually finally starting to show up at AD's. Not sure what I'll do when/if I ever get the call. Had thoughts of buying at the AD, then selling the one I bought from a TS - but at the end of the day the only difference is my name on the warranty card. Not sure if that's worth the hassle.

Mine arrived in two weeks.

Have an AD special order it. You’ll have to go in and put 20 pct. down and should be available for pick up within a month

I think these are starting to hit the market.

I went to the largest Rolex AD today in a large Asian city with lots and lots of Rolex ADs. None of them have had an SD available prior. Today, they had one (and a Deep Sea blue) in the display case.

$13k ... if you purchase a solid gold reference with it with a price of not less than $45k.

$16k if you buy by itself.

I asked if she could write down the price on her business card. She declined.

Congratulations OP, it’s a beauty piece! Enjoy it

It will always be deemed second best and you may even end up resenting it which would be a real shame.
