This is a conversation only relevant to people in the UK :-) Elsewhere one can walk into any AD and pick up pretty much any Rolex (apart from the new Daytona 116500). But don't get me wrong, good on you for sharing!

Nice selection. Even an AK and what looks like an SS GMT as well. They won't last long.

Spotted a ND sub at The Watch Gallery in Westfield London today, not in their window but on display in the Rolex showroom, might still be available if anyone's interested.

That's what this amazing community is all about! I'm happy to see users are helping each other instead of saying, "I just bought the last SS in ______, now in the FS section of this forum at a small premium!"

Yes, we really are a community here, and not just because no one else will have us or let us speak When I joined here, like most people, I did wonder at all the congrats people who have never met each other give so readily, but after a while you begin to know who other members are and you become genuinely happy for them and excited to see what they have bought, on top of it obviously giving you ideas.

Registered on the forum to say thanks to 4lx - been researching Submariner's no date for about 3 years and been actively looking for around 6 months to no avail. My friend spotted this post who told me - I visited the store yesterday and sure enough they had not 1 but 2 in stock! I bought one, which is my first Rolex

Ontop of 2 Submariners no date, they had a Submariner date which was purchased by a gentlemen who walked in the boutique about 30 seconds after me. They also have a bi-colour blue face Submariner (116613LB).

I've no idea whats happening. Admittedly I haven't seen many no dates. Strange choice to hold back if that is what's going on.
