Side note- in internet parlance, 'PM' refers to watches that are solid gold or platinum. Although the bezel is white gold on the one you're interested in, it's still considered a stainless steel watch. I'll admit, Rolex's 'Rolesor' marketing buzz word actually confused me a few months ago because the way the description for it is written, I thought the alloy was a blend of stainless steel and gold. That said, 20% is an incredible discount for a stainless model, especially with no prior history with the AD

Understood, sorry about the confusion.
So it's a SS model?

They send it won't be coming from Rolex NYC, but Geneva

As I understand they can order your model from Rolex Geneva, and it should take around a month between placing the order and it arriving at the AD from overseas. It's a datejust. They have tons.

[Star Ferry]

they are offering you a fair deal

[ostatedchi]

Yeah, seem like a good deal. I'd front the money.

[Beckster]

Sounds like a great deal. Go for it!

I would think that they would have to order the specific model you will be buying, because if it is "luck of the draw", with so many DJ configurations, you might not ever get the one you want for your wife. That would discourage people from making a deposit to begin with.

I am pretty sure that AD will special order yours, they just don´t want to "sit" on another DJ, so that´s why they are asking for all the cashola upfront. The 20% + NO TAX is the balm that takes the full payment upfront - "sting" away.


What a lovely watch by the way. Share the smiles when it is delivered.

Nice price but get them to commit in writing to 2 or 3 months and then you get the deposit back, that should ensure you get it.

These days it seems discounts are disappearing. Finding 20% and no taxes is the best deal I've heard lately. Putting up the full cost is slightly off-putting, but if that's the cost of getting that deal, I'd go for it.

Wow. Friday my AD who I have bought in stock warches from before only asked me for $1,000 deposit for his already ordered 2018 new edition Deepsea Sea-Dweller.

I think that's perfectly reasonable what they have asked especially offering 20% off and no taxes.

Somebody mentioned it above, they don't want another DJ sat in their cabinet.

I drove there and was asked for a full deposit, since they will order it for me . I'll be getting 20% off.
No time line or promises on when it would be coming. But they told me they have to get it from Switzerland.
It's not a hard to find model , I actually found it in two different ADs at full retail.

Do they just wait until rolex sends one? Luck on the draw?
Or is there an order with my name on it put in for me?
Thank you

Your getting the watch you want, andgreat discount. What’s the issue? Your going to have to pay for the watch one way or the other.
