Got the call!! Very unexpected!

I got a text from my lovely SA yesterday to have me come in the store today. So when I arrived at the store, she had me wait in a room and came back with steel Daytona!!

I was in shock because I didn’t expect to get it! I put on the list long time ago, Even she said it’s gonna a very long wait.

So I think the relationship is the most important in order to get the watch you want. Also be patient!

Yes, I took the bus home. I live close by AD.
No, I don’t have a lot of purchase history. I don’t really remember how many years I had waited. Probably over 5 years. However, I work with this SA for over 8 years. Even though I don’t have a lot of purchase history, but I always refer her to a lot of friends!

It’s a very beautiful watch in person!

Good on you, great to see a Rolex on a bus and not another photo of someone trying to show off their wealth with the high end car steering wheel in the background.

I'd be more worried about banging it against one of the metal polls/bars if the bus stopped short.

Amazing! Good to see people with not a lot of history getting such watches. Softening of the market is having a positive impact I think.

Wow, congratulations OP. Small purchase history, hu? Maybe availability is improving at some ADs, even on sought after pieces.
