It honestly felt like a group of 7 year olds on Christmas morning. My friends who own the dealer were clearly surprised as each watch got pulled, but equally anxious just to see some in the flesh (as only one had gone to Basel).

Your experience similar? What model are you waiting on?

In fact I had been handed it directly from the Rolex regional sales rep at a Daytona event in Conn.

In terms of what was in the delivery please see prior post.

Sorry not going to share AD.
Absurd clowns

Haha so fun, almost exact experience. Walked in and said to my dealer, "man if you had a white dial Daytona I'd love to scoop one up, but obviously you don't..." He perked up with a huge smile and said we just got our shipment an hour ago, lets go look! I had serious hope in that moment to which a couple TTs got pulled and SS DJs but it didn't matter, was still a blast. Over here building the sweat equity... I'll get lucky next time!

Makes sense.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pics!

Yes and 1983 if recollection is correct. An extremely delayed HS graduation gift to myself.

Congrats. That's awesome!

I wonder if Rolex will allow me to get a meteorite dial for my Pepsi G?
