What’s the risk? He sold his watch and got his money.
Best of luck to you. Plenty of stories here having good fortune of not waiting too long.

Guys, I got my money.... Rolex can wait...

I will be the first one to admit that I didn’t realize the extreme long wait that’s happening. I thought it was for Daytona SS only... well, I am totally wrong lol.

Can’t help but think, if I were to offer full price to what I paid again today... pretty sure I will still sold it.

I go to Hong Kong often, better inventory there?

There is no better inventory in Hong Kong or literally anywhere else in the world. You might have wanted to look into this prior to selling. I hope you got top dollar for your Sub. Otherwise you’re getting hosed on both sides.

Good luck! Not a good time buy SS sport watch. You need even better luck in HK.

I'd keep that lucky sub.

You’re right on the Daytona, wait list is too long. What about the BLRO?

Inventory and availability is very, very scarce here in Hong Kong. I've been looking for a SS sub with date for over 12 months. I imagine demand will remain extremely high, especially through Chinese New Year.

There is plenty of pre owned and grey mkt stock here in HK. It's obviously priced accordingly with current demand.
