12 months, 1 AD....it’s all possible!
I got the call today for the BLRO which took the longest to receive. My AD has been an absolutely pleasure to work with. The 116508 took 90 days once the order was placed, yes order placed. It’s all about how they work with you.
Everything pictured took 12 months to assemble. |

Nice! So it's all fairly simple, so long as you are prepared to spend 200k?

I struggle with this type of collecting, 9 current models in 12 months? This has very little to do with the love of watches.

Nice. So I guess you bought pre-owned watches from them too based on those discontinued models? Which models did you actually buy at msrp?

Who cares what his motivation was or if he collected it in one day or 5 years. He wanted the pieces quickly and he bought them. Good for him.

Lots of hate/butthurt/misinformed fanboys on here today. I read a lot of bitching and complaining about ADs and Rolex. I’m simply saying it’s possible to build a very nice collection if you can.

Congrats!
I think you're pretty lucky that have a right AD and wonderful SA working with you on your collection.

For others benefit, what watch was first, what followed and did you have a history with this AD for other brands?

Nice collection.
You need a red, green or yellow OP in there to finish it off. |

Sub first followed by LB which I think is pretty standard. I only passed on a few that weren’t for me. I’m reliable and so is my AD. I’m sure if I was interested I could have gotten all the OP colors but that’s not me.

Great collection! You got a few of my faves in there. That is a really short amount of time to accumulate them all, but I get it. Once you get Rolex fever, it's all over.
Considering how hard it is to acquire any piece these days, you are definitely going to get some negative feedback here. Don't take it personally, it is what it is. |
