That's cool. Is that a white gold or platinum version? I think they only started making the platinum version last year?

So what you are saying if someone turned up at any AD for a rainbow DD with that huge amount of cash on his table.The AD would not sell or even try to get one because he/she did not have this so called AD relationship stuff.

The rainbow day date is quite easy to get, rainbow Daytona is impossible without the right connections.

Plenty upon plenty upon plenty of people have huge amounts of cash to put down on that watch. Money is the easy part.

Rolex only makes so many gemset references....and the AD has to have it for their repeat customers to keep them buying...

$120K or whatever this costs in a one off transaction is irrelevant compared to a whale you spends that much monthly on whatever they want...

You realize we’re discussing the DAY DATE 36 right? Other posters have said it’s at ADs and for sale. Also, the watch is 68,700$ , as a simple check of the Rolex site would inform.
