Awesome.

Congrats.

Can I ask how long you waited and if you had a spend history?

Unbelievably beautiful watch. Love the weight

I started with a lady’s date just 31 salmon dial in 2019
Then a 126660 James Cameron in 2020. In 2021 I was purchased a 228238 yg day date with silver dial and Roman numerals. 2022 I purchased date just 36 on jubilee with silver dial.

I dropped a hint to my AD that I wanted a platinum day date with fluted bezel when it was released in 2022. 2023 they called me for a 228236.

Big congrats! How long was the wait? I’ve been hunting this piece since it came out. Pretty hard to get from AD.

Ive been dropping hints about desiring a 116506 or 228206 since I've been dropping in to my AD who is a Rolex Botique in 2019.

I own a 116520, 16610lv, 16710 w/ 3186 movement, 228239 olive all previously sourced from other AD's back when Rolex was widely available. Also inherited a 16760 fat lady.

I only had to wait a little over a year for my AD to call me on the 228236.

I think the main factor that got me considered with little wait for the rare 228236 was regularly visiting the AD to talk about my collection. Each time I visited I would wear a different Rolex in my collection just to talk history. Doing so reassured the AD that I was true collector and not a flipper so they knew the platinum DD would be well loved and cherished.

Only my opinion but who knows

Thanks. My local AD thinks he will get one this year so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
