Robb,

Congratulations on the new Daytona...and on your short wait.
It's still a rare bird. I've been working on one for 3 months now and all I have is maybe's......

So he said to me " I will make a phone call to my friend at Rolex and you will have a Daytona very soon".

Thats not even including the people that have them that are not on the board. Seems the production is starting to catch up.

The other problem a few AD here in FL told me was that they will have 10-15 people or more on a list, and when they call the people, somtimes 12-13 of the first people they call dont want it, cant afford it, bad timing etc etc. So there getting easier to come by.
It might also just be a case of SS Daytonas being "easier" to get AT THE MOMENT! The market goes up and down all the time.

Also, besides the "dont want it, cant afford it, bad timing"-response that some AD's get when they make that famous Daytona call there is also the possibility that the customers being called already GOT the SS Daytona from another AD since many let themselves be put on the list at several AD's.

great watch. post some new pics when you get it!! :)

p.s. these watches are still extremely hard to come by. If I could get two of each color I would, but I cannot. I barely got one of each.

when i got my Rolex at an AD I save on taxes too by shipping out of state. all you need is an out of state address from someone you know so they can ship an EMPTY cardboard box to

I didn't get ANY polishing cloth at all.

Some get the small cloth, some the large, and some don't get any cloth at all.

I guess it depends on where in the world you buy the Rolex.

Apologies for my arriving late to the party.

Congratulations Robb on a stunning watch. Wear it in good health.

Now I'm feeling left out...maybe I should call a few ADs...........
