Wow, isn’t that cool!

Could be AD or could be Gray. He’s ultra rich, i don’t think he cares where his agent gets em from.

I would think he got them direct from Rolex or he got them from an AD with direct help from Rolex where Rolex sent the AD those watches immediately and specifically for this purpose.

Hate to break it to you, the sub is easily available if you’re on the good list. Patty Mahomes is def on the good list.

If you're on that list, a Rainbow Daytona probably isn't even that hard to get.

Agreed. I got mine approximately 10-days after cold calling and asking for one. I did send a $100 bottle of wine immediately after the initial phone call. Not sure how that influenced anything.

100000000000000% these came from an AD

How can anyone think otherwise?

He likely made one phone call and they showed up the next day.

I will say he is class act and the type of athlete Rolex would want to be associated with.

Not even close. Try 10x that if you assume he works 40hrs a week, which, he doesn’t.

Uh, NFL quarterbacks don't just show up once a week.

He's working at least 100 hours a week during the season between trainings, workouts, meetings, travel and press. Many of them sleep at the team facility.

So looking at the hourly rate and actual work put in, Mahomes and I kinda make the same?

Not talking "work week". I mean every hour, 24 hours a day, every day this year.

$21,716,905 salary and some math. Kid goes to bed, wakes up, and clocks $20k while his eyes were closed. Good on him, he's a rarity in professional sports these days.

Keep in mind he earns significant monetary incentives for throwing touchdowns and going to the Superbowl, both of which he seems to be doing plenty of.

He could get them from an AD no problem but no matter how big an AD is, they’re not holding unto six Submariners in a safe.
One or two ok not four or six.
It’s like someone said, called his agent, made the request and he made it happen and very certain it was a grey dealer. Who even they for a sale in bulk to Mahomes cut him a deal to ensure future business.

yeah an AD won't have 6 subs and i think it's a bit out there to think they went directly to rolex for 6 submariners. like you said, probably just told his agent to get him x number of subs and the agent just got them where-ever it was easiest

But if he's a watch guy, he may have an AD relationship (someone above said they use the same one...). In that case, I'm sure he calls his AD, asks about the six Subs and AD calls Rolex rep saying: "Hey, guess what, Patrick Mahomes just stopped by asking for six Subs, can you send?" and they're on their way.

I think anyone suggesting he has the juice to pick up the phone and get a half dozen SS watches at or below retail is guessing and wrong.

If it was Submariners they only command a few grand over retail on the grey market. This isn't Roger Federer.
