Just that really. Was passing the Rolex Boutique on Old Bond Street at around 4pm today and saw this in the window. Hopefully helps any interested parties on these boards looking for one. I was in here a couple of months ago asking about the Daytona C. Their waitlist back then was 5 years but the manager admitted in reality it would be a lot less. He also said that they were the best place to source the harder to find pieces. Given he is the boutique I have no reason to disbelieve. I also stopped by Asprey today and was told their wait list is 7 years. They have received a few Daytonas so far but have all been directed to VIP's. They haven't filled a single wait list name. Given they have Heads of State and other movers and shakers crossing the threshold every day I am sure they had a few sitting in their coffins in the safe gathering dust while us peasants have to leave our details! I appreciate this is not exactly news but just wanted to share.

May swing and pick them both up......... if only great spot !

texex91 · 10 December 2016, 06:51 AM

5 and 7 years...LOL. When those AD's lips are moving you know chances are good there might be some BS flying.

I could stare at that pair all day... in fact I often do.

The Smurf and BLRO rock! Lucky is the person who owns one or both! Cheers!

PMs are not hard to find in UK and still better to buy from good resellers who will discount far more than an ADs 0-10%.

Makes me smile can only imagine what it feels like for you !!!

Just cannot believe some of these quotes by ADs on the wait list for a ceramic Daytona,how hard can it be to just slip on a ceramic bezel and slightly different dials too a old production Daytona watch.

It's not like the former Daytonas were always readily available, sitting in the AD case either...I expect it's probably a similar production # as the former model, just a lot more people now waiting in the line for the 116500 at the same time now.

See I like the more muted colors on the Pepsi. Both are gorgeous indeed.

Simply because most are bought and flipped and end up in the grey for profit.

Jeffreyc87 · 18 December 2016, 10:27 AM

Doc

You have one of the most amazing collections of sports models in PM but also the coolest SS watches like the ceramic Daytona or hulk or YM blue dial.

What are your thoughts on the d blue and why isn't it part of your amazing collection?

Just wondering!

agreed.....

I blame Rolex for this 'manufactured' supply-demand problem....

its marketing at its finest.

watchwatcher · 18 December 2016, 01:43 PM
