my trusty PO

which I will soon be releasing after 10 years of loyal service.
no more complications, date indicators ..
I switch to a very simple diver ...
caliber 3230 ..
does that mean anything to you?

 

First Rolex.
Not a fan of paying over Retail though.

 

Pure class, congrats brobeans! One that will look as good in 50 years as it does today. Are you not a fan of the fluted biiizel? That would be my choice I think

 

Congratulations Anthony.

If I ever get another Rolex it will likely be a blue DateJust 36.

 

should I then drown my sorrows in a typical French cafe

 

Are these also that hard to obtain?
I like those colourful oyster perpetuals

 

It seems strange... I have nothing. I search Ebay, Watchfinder, even Cash Converters, but there is nothing at the moment.

 

Congrats Anthony! A classic timeless piece!

 

Congratulations!

 

After two years of being "on the list", I got the call. Its just the right amount of dress and sport

 

Congrats! I've been on a list for 4+ years for a Pepsi, I think I need to change my AD. My sales guy left and I think his list vanished with him.

 

Congrats again!

What a great "new watch buying day" we're having huh! Now did anyone buy anything besides Rolex though?

 

Thanks Jim..
I went with the flat dial to give it a bit less dressier look. Just felt that jubilee and fluted were a bit too much for me.

 

On my enquiry with the AD and Boutique it's a matter of getting on the list. The list I've been on for a couple of years for a Sub so I didn't bother and just went Grey Market. The OP are also quite nice in the colourful dial. Just wasn't sure how they would be received in 10 years time so went with the classic DJ 41.

 

Congrats sir @Anthony.R ! DateJust is a classic

 

At my AD a Pepsi or Daytona are usually given to the heavy hitters. The area is filled with wealthy folks spending crazy money. I understood my place in the cue and feel I would be waiting forever for the Pepsi. Getting to the point of being able to get this was quite a bit of patience, spend and several referrals. Over time I have become quite friendly with my salesman and enjoy just stopping in for a chat and checking out their other brands. At this point I am glad to be free of waiting for the call. It’s liberating and I am pretty happy with my collection now.

 

Congrats dude! What a fantastic feeling it must be to get that call.

 

Thank you! It was pretty cool. I had a hard time sleeping after the call and couldn't wait for the next day to begin so I could pick it up. It feels kind of like that moment when you are waiting for a package and get the notice "out for delivery"

 

So... 'the list' is not a fiction after all?

 

You just need an existing relationship to get on it and need to keep spending and checking in to stay on it
