PAY IT FORWARD - I'm going to take one away from the flippers!
So many threads about how grey dealers have magical access to AD stock and swoop up 95% of all the available Rolex watches.
So many frustrated people who can't get the Rolex watch they want without paying through the nose. So, I'm going to do something spontaneous, maybe risky, and possibly CRAZY! I'm going to visit a few Rolex stores THIS WEEK and I'm going to buy the FIRST piece I'm offered -- no matter what it is! And, if I love it, I'm going to keep it. If I don't 100% love it, I will make it available to a TRFer who wants it. I'll pay it forward to a Rolex lover who really loves the piece. I'm up for the challenge. Will I be offered anything at all? Will I end up with a Datejust with diamond bezel? Will I get a YG Daytona? Who knows? If it's a nice one, I'll snatch it away from the evil flippers and release into the TRF universe - the home of all pure and Rolex-worthy watch lovers. Edit: If you have a dream watch, please be super specific. |

That is awesome of you. I just visited Cabo, and there is a 36mm Explorer there. Just saying, it's a good excuse to hit the Beach :)

If you magic up a Platinum Daytona please its my 50th next year and although my name is on a list still not happened.
I am guessing a 36mm DateJust will be the best you will find. |

This works best when you lay 20 bundles on the countertop.

Put me down for a Submariner No Date 41! Great idea. We should all do this.

On Saturday May 8th walked into an AD here in NJ for the first time. My car was out front, they saw my dog barking....told me to bring her in!
Twenty minutes later I walked out with a 115603 Black dial . SA told me it was in the store since that morning....they decided to put it out. I knew if I didn't take it.....someone else would shortly after. Still searching for my 124060 but am totally PSYCHED about this watch!! |
