Everybody claimed here that he was #1 in his local ADs. Where are those #2s and the remaining orders? Please give them a little chance......

I was told it could be as early as July But honestly, dealing with past new Rolex models, it would not surprise me to be October or even later.

same here - are your AD's running one list for the black and one for the white?

Issue for me is if they get the black dial version in before the white dial.

I know I will end up with both but would prefer to start with the white dial version.

I have just rung The Watch Gallery in Westfields, Shepherd Bush and they do not have a waiting list and are not taking deposits

I see you are from London, who have you contacted?

I think July was about the earliest the BLNR became available and that was nothing more than an insert change and a different color paint on the 24 hour hand. So I wouldn't expect the 500 any earlier than that.

I'd put the over/under at six months.

I am 11th on the list :banged: with Watches of Switzerland. I suppose this will give me a chance to get some extra £££s together when I finally get one in 2/3 years time!!!

I wonder how many here who have been dreaming of a DaytonaC would pay above retail from a trusted if they are not top of their ADs' list rather than wait for months or even longer. Should do an anonymous poll.

I'm 98% sure the TRF sellers have lists already by now.

I'm number one on the list at every Rolex boutique in the U.S., so some of you aren't telling the truth...

I called 2 of my local ADs and was told they are not going to do a list but will invite customers to purchase when the watches come in... I assume I will not be one of those getting an invite

WoS on Bond Street.
I rang them the day it was announced at 9.30 am and was 4th on the list. Had an email / receipt of my deposit and an invite to go and view both colours in May.

I am down for a white but will hold judgement until I try on both.

If it is a +1 i will offer it up on here

We have one of those in my town, not a good looking car IMHO, although an amazing piece of engineering. Great guy owning it though.
