Hulk Alert - Availability

Saw one last night at the Rolex Boutique store (display window) South Coast Plaza (Orange County, CA). I know that some AD's claim limited availability but there is one to be had assuming it is still there and you are willing to put up with the bubble-gum snapping teeny boppers who work behind the counter.

"it is still there and you are willing to put up with the bubble-gum snapping teeny boppers who work behind the counter."

and their no discount policy on SS sport models like this one.... It is still sitting there because they wont discount it like some other local dealers in the area.

Great place to look, but not so great place to purchase.

Correct - no discount whatsoever. On top of that they quote complete rip-off prices for trade-ins. Personally, I would never buy a watch from that place. I agree that it is an excellent "test drive" facility due to the wide selection of models that they have available at any given time. Ditto the similar stores in Vegas who typically have no interest or desire in negotiating price.

In the Netherlands (and the rest of North Europe) you can get them at almost every AD...

When I was looking for mine I called every listed AD in Scotland and only one had in stock! Discount here is also not common as many stated to me as its an ss model.

Wouldn't Rolex have an issue with IP/copyright with this calendar? -- making profits from their trademarks..

They are in the case of the local AD in nova. Cool watch- but not limited IMO. Is there any current Rolex that's limited???????? ;-)

There are no limited edition models but I would imagine the very expensive, diamond-encrusted watches would not be made in large numbers and so can be described as being in limited production.

Have yet to see one in person and that's probably a good thing for my wallet. Can't buy something the AD's don't have .

Not hard to find at ADs

Just hard to find a good discount these days. Glad I got mine when I did.
