Thanks for your reply :)

I'm guessing since you got yours on launch day you're a very good customer! Seems a bit ridiculous to be withholding papers from such good customers, but nevermind. Seems this is the new Rolex way!

A bit more than the CAD equivalent, which would explain why we won't see too many over here...

not fair that Europe gets them first. Why can't Rolex release the watches to all regions at the same time?......

But congrats to you all that have it.

Well done. I had the call last night and pick mine up next week when back from hols. Managed to see all of new releases at the Aurum launch on the 9th where they had some dummies to try on that night.

So they keep something that belongs to you? How does that work?

Congrats on the lovely piece, but that is still a ridiculous requirement.

Not to say I wouldn't also agree with the ability to purchase one now

Wow. They truly are following through with trying to curb the grey market.

Congrats on the watch!

I don’t think that’s correct , I use a independent and he told me at least a week ago it was a June 1st launch for the UK BLRO. roll out

Is it just me or does the colour of the red/blue ceramic bezel insert look somewhat like a faded 1675 pepsi insert in colour ????

Have you read the latest news? Richemont has just bought Watchfinder, probably the biggest grey dealer in the world and as they are in the UK where things happen first probably the most influential. Just goes to show how powerful the grey market is now, and more so than many actual watch brands now, and that Richemont expects this market situation to persist for quite some time.

I think this seismic move could finally hasten Rolex to really address the grey market with supply and price side policies.
