Visit at the AD today

[iclick]

I dropped in on one of our ADs today and talked with the manager of the shop for quite some time. This is the first time I've been in an AD for 20 years or more and he seemed to be eager to talk to someone about Rolexes. We talked for about an hour and I walked out of the shop not with a new watch but a copy of Vol. 1 and 2 of the Rolex Magazine, a PP brochure, and a few tidbits of info:

1. He said a SS version of the ceramic Pepsi GMT will be out in the fall. No other info, so take it FWIW, but it was like <wink, wink> "Trust me on this," as if inside information. This may be common knowledge by now, but if so it is news to me.

2. I was wearing my 116520 Daytona and asked about current SS Daytona availability. He said they are still in short supply and that their eight stores only get 8-10 per year total. In this market, at least, the SS Daytona is still in limited supply. He also mentioned that the SS Daytona was never kept in the display case, only being removed from the store safe when requested and available, and there is no waiting list. He said he could easily get any gold Daytona, however, which was no surprise.
