SD43 Score Card. UK 4 / Rest of world 0 , WTF

Since when did the U.K. Become the center of the world !!?? Just kidding

Congratulations to our friends across the pond. I guess that sticker "international launch date" was a rotten joke !

Cheers

Hey, they've been short on the steel stuff for a while, Rolex had to throw them a bone!

I've been hearing for the US that it's boutique in May, June/July for ADs. Kind of hoping that is bad info and they start landing at ADs soon...I'm getting anxious to see it in the metal!

I expect that it's since Rolex was originally founded here

Probably a true and accurate prediction. Will be interesting to see how many more incomings appear from the UK over the next few weeks or if these few are it for a while and the US gets flooded with them instead

Hopefully this is a sign that supply will not be the problem it was with the Daytona C!

no other watch in rolex history has been treated like the daytona ss

daytona is the exception and not the rule

at worst the SD 50th will be treated like the old 16610LV which is basically along the lines of the current 116610LV or BLNR

It'll be in 29 Bond St until lunchtime Friday (today); then 155 Regent St (WoS) on the weekend.

Had a peek today; SD43 sits right between the SubC and the DSSD (have both), so will pass for now.

But the SS SkyD was a lovely surprise!

I'm guessing Australia will be first to get all the grey dealer offers.

Not on the site but he has one. My guess is it's going strait to a customer and will not see the website.
