Daytona and Skydweller Tonight!
Walked into my AD about two hours ago and my sales lady tells me they have a Daytona and Skydweller that haven’t been put out for sale yet. I bought them both on the spot.

You must be part of their VIP list to land those two “rare birds”.
Double congrats!

To keep or to flip?

Were you on the list for these 2 as that's quite unusual to just be offered them like that.

Most AD's have lists that go on forever for SS Daytona's and I'm guessing SS Skydweller wait times wont be insignificant.

You are a lucky guy!

And here lies the problem. An AD I spoke with said they are trying to weed oyt 'speculators' and plan on selling only to those regular buyer who own and wear the watch. ADs with regular customers can easily figure this out.

I cant blame OP for making a quick buck however. Rolex created the problem. Let them fix it.

Congratulations on the watches.

But probably very disappointing for the next person on the list for the SkyDweller.

Why not? There’s nothing wrong with taking advantage of an opportunity. Some may not like it but that’s their problem.
