I just need some green glass lovin

Passion4Rolex · 3 December 2008, 06:23 AM

a AD I cant help you with, but a grey dealer yes, he has the GV in stock new and signed paperwork

www.dream-watches.co.uk

Dane is red hot with Rolex, I deal with him only when I buy a Rolex

Hope this helps

Good luck

i think those who are looking for a gv are already on a waiting list. :-D

There was a post for a week ago i believe one of the members did try to hook someone up with a GV. Now I cannot reacall the name or the thread name. Good luck!

charliec · 3 December 2008, 09:25 AM

Had a call yesterday from Ernest Jones in Kingston offering me a milgauss that I had on order.
As i already have a GV i turned them down. The GV was the only one i've ever pre-ordered from an AD I presume the offer was for a GV
Ring them ASAP.

Hope this helps

xbox · 3 December 2008, 05:37 PM

Thanks for the help chaps

I'll call Ernest Jones ASAP and will report back - fingers crossed!

I really want a GV but the search is so frustrating ..... its like chasing the end of a rainbow

marke · 3 December 2008, 08:04 PM

david duggan has about 6 of them in stock, good time to strike up a deal

xbox · 3 December 2008, 08:25 PM

Was just a black face, not a GV.

Still on the lookout, so please report any sightings

Lol-x · 3 December 2008, 08:27 PM

Good luck, you will get the GV will a little perserverence

exper · 3 December 2008, 08:54 PM

There's one for sale in the For Sale section here from a UK member, not retail but still better then nothing I suppose

The GMT Master · 3 December 2008, 09:58 PM

I'd recommend getting on a waiting list. I can pass on the details of my local AD if you'd like, but there's still a very limited supply I'm afraid.

xbox · 3 December 2008, 10:02 PM

Marke - thanks but I really don't fancy paying DD over the odds in the current climate

Would like to just deal with a friendly AD

charliec · 4 December 2008, 12:20 AM

The good ole boys in USA are laughing at us Brits right now. They can't figure out how it's possible that there is a GV, DSSD and SS Daytona shortage here????
Neither can we, so please help us out.........

xbox · 4 December 2008, 03:30 AM

Were not laughing, were not laughing, were not laughing any more

Please .... just one GV

marke · 4 December 2008, 03:45 AM

i agree with you, my Gv is still in the safe and has never been worn and it will be its 1st birthday very very soon.

Same as that. My GV is still in the wrapper and box !! Mind you it's only a few months old!! Is it a keeper? Yeah i think so ??

charliec · 4 December 2008, 03:59 AM

Never sold a watch in my life although we can't tell the wife it's a keeper as i promised not to buy any more !!

xbox · 4 December 2008, 04:20 AM

I won't be wearing my GV everyday ...... otherwise the Daytona will stop.

No. Every other day will do just fine.

I can't wait to rip the plastics off and get it on ...... my wrist

Welshwatchman · 4 December 2008, 04:36 AM

I am next on the list at one of my ADs and am unlikely to take the GV when it finally arrives. I have cooled off the watch and the flip potential is not really worth the hassle.

So as and when this happens I will likely put the watch on hold and get word out on TRF.

marke · 4 December 2008, 05:01 AM

the Gv is a bit like marmite, you either love it or hate it. For me the GV is an investment for years down the line, the watch will be discontinued in a few years (5) then wil be come a collectors piece over time.

My opinion is based on info given to me by 3 different people that work for Rolex in the Uk and one other who is based at rolex Hq in Geneva, who i have known for over 20 years.

Aprt from that you have a great watch in the daytona that you have, I love my ss daytona with the WG slate face fitted....

Be patient all good things come to those that wait.

I will wave my magic wand and speak to my contact, as i have had 5 GVs this year.

CEG · 4 December 2008, 05:03 AM

Im me if you still want one. I am 99% sure I can get a BNIB for £4000 if that helps - £200 over list.. I'm in Herts - North of London..

CEG · 4 December 2008, 05:07 AM

Scrub that - just phoned my man, he's literally just sold it for £4100

The prices have slipped considerably on these... Great watch in the flesh..

Much appreciated Marke - Wave away, my fingers are crossed

I get the marmite thing BTW. For me its just having something that little bit different to another black-face sports model. Also looking forward to waving it at every power generator I walk past

alphamale2012 · 4 December 2008, 05:09 AM

Anyone know how much a M serial 2008 sub 14060M is going for in UK and where I could get 1 from?

Many thanks chaps

marke · 4 December 2008, 05:13 AM

can get you one from earnest Jones in essex and get you a small discount, PM or email me on the signature

Nice gesture fella.

List on the 14060 is a touch over £3140, www.watchfinder.co.uk have them BNIB in stock for £2983 (5%). You'll get a pre-owned 2008 one for £2500 I'd have thought...

spogehead · 4 December 2008, 06:55 AM

No idea on the price but a dealer in Brighton I think called Ocean watches had an unworn one in the window. He's in the middle of the lanes

mactrack · 4 December 2008, 07:30 AM

Amazing how the US appears to be awash with SS Daytona's and GV's yet us lot in the UK can barely get either. I know I am patiently waiting on a reserve list, for when the main list is exhausted, for a SS Daytona! If the £ had not dropped by 25% in recent months some of the BNIB SS Daytona's offered by US members here would have made great purchases for us.

xbox · 18 December 2008, 04:24 PM

Anything .....anyone

I lost the one from Richmond, as they couldn't hold it for me

BZA · 18 December 2008, 11:00 PM

I'm with you xbox.

been looking for a GV in UK for about a year!!!

Found one in central london and the guy said I could have it only if I bought another watch from him ( a graham). So that idea quickly died...

They are being reserved for "good" customers (much like the SS Daytona) and as I have always bought from disparate sources I'm not "in" with anyone.

Hopefully TRF can come to the rescue one day, for both of us.

I know you can buy them today on the grey market but to me its not the same as getting from an AD. that's part of the "magic" for me.
