PAY IT FORWARD - I'm going take one away from the flippers!

[vh2k]

So many threads about how grey dealers have magical access to AD stock and swoop up 95% of all the available Rolex watches.

So many frustrated people who can't get the Rolex watch they want without paying through the nose.

So, I'm going to do something spontaneous, maybe risky, and possibly CRAZY!

I'm going to visit a few Rolex stores THIS WEEK and I'm going to buy the FIRST piece I'm offered -- no matter what it is! And, if I love it, I'm going to keep it. If I don't 100% love it, I will make it available to a TRFer who wants it. I'll pay it forward to a Rolex lover who really loves the piece.

I'm up for the challenge. Will I be offered anything at all? Will I end up with a Datejust with diamond bezel? Will I get a YG Daytona? Who knows? If it's a nice one, I'll snatch it away from the evil flippers and release into the TRF universe - the home of all pure and Rolex-worthy watch lovers.

Edit: If you have a dream watch, please be super specific.

Deal. If I magically get offered a BLNR, it's yours.

Can you please be more specific? Exactly which model/dial, etc.?

I have several Daytonas on my wish list.

Well, that would really suck!!! But, I’m typically offered something from the back.

[brandrea]

It’ll be interesting to see what you’re offered

I hope your wife needs a DJ

I’ll do you a favour then and check to see if my wife is in the market

[mimariani]

That is awesome of you. I just visited Cabo, and there is a 36mm Explorer there. Just saying, it's a good excuse to hit the Beach :)

If you magic up a Platinum Daytona please its my 50th next year and although my name is on a list still not happened.
I am guessing a 36mm DateJust will be the best you will find.

There’s one at Timeless that they’ve had a couple weeks. Diamond markers. I’m sure they’d cut a smoking deal!

Cellini monophase it is then!

Are you saying you want one? Or you think I’ll get stuck with — I mean, offered— that model?

[-dustin]

Put me down for a Submariner No Date 41! Great idea. We should all do this.

Edit: specificity

Not specific enough.
