Got the call.....
AD rang, conversation was like this...
AD - Hello Sir, we have you down on our list for the Rolex Daytona..... Me - (almost wetting myself  ) Yes I’ve been on the list for about 2 years now I think.AD - We are just going through our list and checking if you are still interested? Me - Absolutely, I am ready to purchase. AD - OK we will leave you on the list and let you know when it’s your turn, we don’t have a timeline though. Me - Thank you (sobs uncontrollably )That is one sick phonecall for an AD to make, total tease The wait goes on..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Haha, fancied a Banksy themed change
It was massively cruel, that’s the first time I’ve ever had a phonecall from them! I felt like telling the guy he was sadistic but want to stay on the list Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'll bet he just called and offered a watch to the person one spot ahead of you, and that guy has 24 hours to act. I suspect you're closer than you think.

I don’t get the “list” thing anymore. Didn’t think anyone kept going through them in chronological order anymore

Lists for the Daytona don't mean anything at AD's. Sure you can be at the top of the list, but if a celebrity or someone who drops $200,000 a year at the AD suddenly wanted the Daytona, guess who gets bumped right to the top of the list?

That's pretty harsh.
Slight chance maybe they're anticipating a delivery and you might be next? |

WT$%!@$$
 Well, at least they did have you on the list and did not just throw the list out after 2 years. I visited an AD last weekend where I put my name down for Daytona about a year ago. When I asked the lady if I am still on the list, she looked embarrassed and just asked for my information again. I have no doubt that piece of paper probably went straight to the trash bin after I left the store. |
