there is one at Rolex Orlando. They said there have been 7 shipped to the USA so far. I really like this watch, the colors are really nice. The metal just glows. Of course the watch is very heavy. Another home run by Rolex. IMO.

Nice! Seems like at first a lot did not particularly like the piece when it was a Basel announcement, however appears many have come around to it.

Did you give it back?

It's always fun trying new pieces when they come out, glad you were able to check it out.

skprd13 · 30 September 2013, 07:06 AM

What a coincident, David is in Orlando too.

Art, do you like the pricetag as much as the watch?

77T · 30 September 2013, 07:47 AM

Best viewed NWOT Jocke...

Eyes stay in sockets better that way

HL65 · 30 September 2013, 07:59 AM

Look forward to seeing one in person....Love it!!! The color combo is killer and agree it is one hot watch! Cheers,

VICI · 30 September 2013, 08:23 AM

I'd be surprised if my opinion of the watch would change...

GEO_79 · 30 September 2013, 09:04 AM

I don't like it;because I don't have 75000$

azguy · 30 September 2013, 09:08 AM

7 in the states and DavidSW has one, I'm impressed....

We have one here in NJ at a Rolex function at Sidney Thomas (Ross Simmons formally) in the Short Hills mall. They were shipped some special edition pieces and they didn't have any movements inside. The watch was heavy even without the movement. I will bring my Day Date II platinum and weigh them once they get one which is do around Christmas time. I'm thinking about leaving a deposit but I'm not so sure yet. We all know that next Basil is going to be a big event for Patek 175 years. I probably will wait for Patek. @75k for a Daytona movement I don't think it is a wise move.

Hopefully they will finally release that regulator.....

Yea I just don't get twice the price of PT when PT and Gold are almost the same price metal wise now. Id rather have 2 nice WG models :)

Stay strong Mike! The 5980/1r-001 is calling you!!!

kings4sap · 1 October 2013, 09:21 AM

The Leeds store at South Coast Plaza had one in the outside display case. Nice looking. I know that it weighs more but it looks like a gussied up SS model.

Gaijin · 1 October 2013, 09:27 AM

Saw one in Honolulu last week at the AD in Waikiki. Have we accounted for the "7" sent to the USA yet?

Sperry · 1 October 2013, 09:32 AM

Rolex would not accept my advice on fully brushed bracelet, so I probably won't get one.

Hairdude1 · 1 October 2013, 10:54 AM

TWC here in Chicago also has one, I am looking forward to trying it on. Mike maybe a quick trip to the Windy city to try it on??
