Seriously, a UK Rolex AD had a 116595 RBOW sitting in the safe unsold for 3 years?

I don't think so ......

The AD would have had to have paid Rolex UK for it. No business sits on an extremely expensive (at cost to them) stock item for 3 years that they can sell 10 times over.

And that's before we consider that you've posted pictures of 2 different watches.

Just as a point of interest, the OP has used two different image hosts for the picture of the platinum Daytona and the Rainbow Daytona. And the exif data has been completely stripped from both images.

Call my cynical but....

Screen cap, or it can be deleted (or modified) with image processing software. Facebook also strips exif data from all images uploaded.

Even my iphone 14 lets me change the exif data.

on this i must contradict you, i am aware of a dealer who has a rainbow in the safe which hasn't been whown out to customers, Dealer might just keep for their own collection, i have personally seen the watch so not making up the story!

Afterall it's their money, they do what they want with their watches, sell it, gift it, keep it...

Point accepted.

There are, however, very few independent Rolex ADs in the UK and even less (if any) that would likely receive a Rainbow Daytona in their allocation.

Who bothers to try and impress a bunch of internet strangers with a made up story? I just don't get it. Time to ban and close the thread.

OP hasn't been back since posting the thread, so we'll wait to see what, if anything, he has to say. Should be entertaining.

He probably did a dial change on the watch in the Bentley on way home to his enormous mansion and model wife!

Maybe he then had to jet off to some conflict zone for some real hero type stuff and why he hasn’t revisited the thread. Or maybe his mom just took away his internet.

Two different Rainbows, and he's from the UK but apparently has a Bentley with a Km/h speedometer?

What a very sad post.

what do you get from lying to 99.9% of people on an internet forum that you'll never meet or cross paths in this life or the next? what clout does someone actually get from a forum/message board. This is so cringe and weird.
