Nice JJ. That one is stunning and looks great as well.
Is it WG or platinum? Definitely look more substantial than the older model.

Trurolexer · 27 September 2008, 03:38 PM

HUGE CONGRATS!!!

highroller · 27 September 2008, 10:13 PM

Awesome

Glad to see they're finally getting out there

Congrats.

Torn here. Can't wait to see it, yet afraid to look, if you know what I mean.

SLS · 28 September 2008, 04:28 AM

casadecamporolex · 29 September 2008, 12:28 AM

Was it bought in the USA? You are the first here to report its arrival, I believe.

Mr. K · 29 September 2008, 12:44 AM

Wow, sounds like a nice watch. Congrats!

cmr · 29 September 2008, 01:45 AM

i am much more excited about this than i was about the dssd.

haakon59 · 29 September 2008, 01:51 AM

Congratulations on what is sure to be a very nice watch.

TheDude · 29 September 2008, 02:14 AM

Congrats! Can't wait to see pics!

I'm seriously hoping there will be a two-tone released in 2009...

Wow JJ... That AD has some serious stuff there. I see the blue/blue "New Sub" on the right, an SDDS, tons of 41mm DD...

Yes, but like I said earlier, all dummies - no movement inside. Only for display in order to attract prospective clients.....and it worked.

The AD received a number of advance bookings for the real watches which should start trickling in next month.

Oh... I was skimming the thread and didn't read closely enough. Man, that's kind of weak... but it certainly explains it.

Not really "weak", my friend. The dummies had the desired sales & marketing effect. That AD received heaps of advance booking orders for virtually all the models there......and the prospective clients can pick up their real watches in Oct./Nov.

Shrug - we just have different opinions.

Although after further thought, it seems to make a certain amount of sense. If you don't have a complete watch, it can't be sold - so it's always around for looky-loos. I imagine if Rolex delivered complete watches, they'd go out the door, and then no one else could see them.

Dang, I also just thought of something else... I'd hate to get one of those shells with some random movement crammed in it by an unscrupulous type. I wonder how Rolex is keeping tabs on those "dummies"?

Glad it worked, but I imagine most of the folks buying them won't need to see one up close before making the purchase!

Do you have it in yet ?
Would love to see some wrist shots !! (day light if possible..)

Beauty of a watch .... Hold on i must wipe the drool from my mouth... Ok i,m back congrats and lets get those pics up.....

Chozn1 · 1 October 2008, 12:33 AM

Great timing! Someone said they're over 30k now with the increase.

TheDude · 1 October 2008, 01:30 AM

I think a solid gold President was in the $3K-ish USD range in the 80s (early 80s)

I wonder if that kind of increase is going to continue - if in another 25 years, they'll be $300K???

eric23 · 1 October 2008, 02:07 AM

Congrats!
