I am amazed that not every one of those ss sports models is not already sold to a patient punter who has been on a list for some time.

Maybe the attendees were all those on a list finally going in for a glass and pick up the long awaited treasure!

OMG and SD43 sitting in a case! Something I've never witnessed before I can tell you that. Can't imagine too many of those watches staying in that case after 20 min

They could auction some of those off at the party, and more than pay for the cost of the party

You're right there!!! Oh to just be given the choice now and then by an AD. To actually walk in and ask for a SS sports model, and for them to actually give it to you there and then.......one can always dream!

If there was something you wanted, and you were there, why didn't you just get it at the event?

There nothing I really wanted. And if there was, I wasn't going to start negotiating with 75 people walking through looking at the same watches I would've been looking at working the price the owner and Rolex representative hawking everything thing going on. I dont work like that. It wasn't a going out if business sale.
