SS Daytona Ceramic: ORDER PLACED

[cdmorenot]

I don't have a price yet but my Rolex AD confirmed, in writing, that I would have the very first white face that comes in to them.

They did say I have 24 hours from the phone call to come pick it up. (I left my card on file)

I wasn't a massive fan of the SS Daytona, but now I am and have just been checking out the website it looks stunning. Congratulations

Ordered the white!!!! #1 on the list at the Houston Boutique store. Now the wait.....

[malnik]

I'm going to my local AD at lunch time to get on the list. I hope the AD will be fair since I never bought anything from them before.

Just rang Rolex at One Hyde Park they are not making a reservation list at present as they have no details of the watch yet

Just placed a pre-order (#1 in the queue!) for a white dial at La Difference in the Toronto area. It seems like they're the only ones taking pre-orders in the GTA. Both Damiani and Royal de Versailles says that they are not going to take pre-orders until they get more details on pricing and availability.

I figure that there is probably going to be no discount anyway so just bit the bullet and pre-ordered and put in a deposit. I asked them about changing my mind and they said that they will issue a full refund since "there will be a lot of demand" :D

They're an official Rolex Boutique, but I'm pretty sure they have told many people inquiring that they would be #1 on the list, just so they can get the deposits in hand.

Hope we're one of the first ones to receive it though

The early bird gets the cerachrom, I am 3rd in line at my AD

Got a text from my AD this morning - first one through their door is mine ---

But I'm with Paul on this one --- I'm not holding my breath as to WHEN that will be, nor will I speculate ---I'm thinking anything before Jan 2017 will be pretty awesome...

My .02 --- but I'll be the first around here to have it...

I called my AD and I am first on the list. They told me possibly August. They said that's usually when they get the new stuff. I guess the big dealers get the new stuff first. That could happen in June and July they told me. My AD is small.

Hope we don't have same AD!

If so you can have first one!

How do the sales people reconcile who has first dibs on the inventory, would it not be the case that the Manager or Store Owner should keep such a list and that sales would be associated with the sales rep on the call...

I would hate to hear about a sales rep losing a list, leaving or being trumped by another sales rep.

The list certainly is ambiguous and I wonder if two people have called the same AD and received the same answer (You're #1! on the list).

I spoke to the store owner to confirm. However, my sales person was out for the day, so I normally wouldn't reach out to him, but feel better that I did. Also tried to put down a deposit, but that's outside their store policy.

Regardless of perceptions of 'lists' items like this new Daytona will be offered (first) to the ADs best customers --- regardless of any 'lists'.

...then the 'lists' can come in...

Exactly and why I said many will be disappointed even though they are "#1".

The AD owners will sell these to top clientele first, which many here may or may not be ($50 to $150k annually in many markets get's you on that list).

What a salesperson tells you and what the owner does are two TOTALLY different things.

Plus, I don't see Rolex pumping them out like GMT's, so supply will remain limited on top of the normal Rolex AD games.

Will be fun to watch it start play out probably 6 months from now...

Glad to say I'm also first in line at my AD for a white one. I asked them to open a list in January...sooo glad I did.

Was in London today and popped into the Rolex store in New Bond Street...by 12.30 they had 11 orders for a white one with a deposit of £1800.00.

[Racerdj]

Very smart decision. It will be a home run for Rolex again! Advance congratulations!

[perpetualman88]

I should have mine as well :)

[WS9D]

Going against a previous post in another thread, I figure I have nothing to lose. I'm second in line at my AD. They told me anywhere between June and August.

[opaline460]

Our trusted sellers might have it before the AD waiting list.....

At a $3-$5k mark-up most likely...but yes they will and it will be the way many acquire.

[Kneecough]

I placed my deposit for a white one at the Rolex boutique in Orlando. They told me I was 11th, but they should have it for me by October since they get larger allotments being an actual Rolex store.

We will see, best of luck to all who preordered.

I think being told youre #1 on the ADs list is more like #10ish if you are just the regular average customer.
Imagine how many very close friends/buddies/relatives the AD owner has in his circle who wants dibs on these goodies. Then next comes the vip clients/clients who deposited. Then the regular clients. Ohh crap. I guess my #3 is more like #300ish :(

On the list at my AD for a white dial as well. I have been a loyal customer for the past few years, but I know there are plenty of big wigs to take care of first.

Good luck to everyone and looking forward to the first incomings this fall!!

I hear you...I am excited about the prospect of getting one but I am not a big client to my AD so could be a looooong time for me, regardless of where I am on "the list"
