Yes but hurry up, because Rolex is discontinuing this model and has told us that we will stop taking orders soon, so hurry up and place your order.

Yes...since January it's been "limited"....lets revisit this thread in the summer and see where we're at. Lots seem to be gambling on this rather than just get the watch you like and love, then enjoy it, what a weird idea this is in 2015.
$12k plus is an expensive lottery ticket and at best your winnings are double it's price in like 40-50 years, not a good lottery ticket considering a winning one dollar ticket nets you millions. Everybody is waiting and hoping they bought the next Comex.

I bet less Platonas are sold than D Blues. In fifty years, I would bet that one is more valuable, and will you likely care.....most of us will be at least 70 years old then or 80, price of a watch be damned. I think if I passed down a Deepsea that a family member could wear that isn't a Mona Lisa is more rewarding than something they put on a pedestal and can't touch because it's so "valuable". If you plan you're retirement correctly you won't have to depend on limited edition watches, and you can leave real money to your family vs a super valuable "watch"

As mentioned before the fact that the watch was displayed at Basel this year is in my eyes a commitment from Rolex at least for another year. Even though ADs would love to be this watch in demand as SS Daytona not so many people can pull off 44mm size.
I absolutely love it and already paid a deposit with my AD 3 weeks ago. Can't wait !

The BEST Rolex I have ever owned, and it's the Best or Nothing!

[Mfrankel2]

Either way, pretty happy short sleeved weather is almost upon us!

[Mar1177]

I love my deep blue. It goes with my new supercar collection.

[travisb]

I hope to get one soon. My ADs rep says they're still being allocated.
As said, if it's on display at Basel, it's current production.

[Divingdeep87]

My AD has 3 in stock, 4 BLNR and 2 Hulks. So i think they will go another year.

To the OP: your AD is BS'ing you. It is a watch in regular production and not a very good seller at that, thus Rolex is not over-producing it. AD's are quite happy because they can claim that they are in "high demand" and don't feel compelled to discount (even though I was offer a discount).

It is a singular and cool piece, but not as hyped or popular as seem people seem to think.

[Thevenin]

For a watch that isn't a good seller it's sure hard to find....in Canada.....and I know they can't keep them in Heathrow either....gone in less than a day whenever they get one in!

My local AD has had a few, but they've gone in the blink of an eye. So far I've only managed to have a quick look at a customer's watch, before he collected it.

[ABChop]

I had one in my hands briefly last October...... (The only one I've seen in person)....but we were shopping for my wife....so it was not on the table that day.

[terrywoods]

They will run the dial for years it's in rolex's best interest to milk the model for all they can

[dazzpowder]

Popped into watchfinder Royal Exchange, they had one on display dated as less than a year old, they want £9.5K madness that's £500 more than the last one they had in.

[Fresh_1]

My AD in Tri State area offered me one today but passed as its way too big for me. Hope I don't regret it, but guess the discontinuation is hoopla. Though they are selling quick & is a unique watch if your into that look or have professional use for it.

Dang £9500 ! That's a lot.
Plus 20% VAT on top of that?

Tax in they are £8023 at an AD in Canada right now.
$14,200 plus 5% tax in Alberta = $14,910 CAD = £ 8023 today.
And that's brand new....not a year old.
What is the UK price in an AD?

VAT is included in UK prices, not added afterwards.

They want 10k for a new one now :) I think they are getting harder to get hold of

[AL7273]

Hmm, just stopped by my AD in Dubai. Sales clerk checked for me and said there is only one (1) in Dubai inventory right now and it is in the Dubai head office. He thinks they will stop making as well....mine is sleeping soundly in the safe with stickers on. Weight lifting is going well. Have dropped about 6 kilo of fat and added more muscle. Another 2 months of gym 5x a week and a Rubber b and I will break the seal.

Unless they start selling for a nice premium!

[Fernandohk]

A clever strategy - keep supply just below actual demand. Would they have sold as many SS Daytonas and now the DSSD blue if not for the 'hard to get factor'? Anyone heard of De Beers? :)

[CGJJ]

Examples from non AD's in London seem to be commanding a premium.

[dazzpowder]

If I'm not mistaken £8200 is the AD price

[Afghanvet]

High demand, great selling... would really question that business strategy - but we'll see...

Rolex good at pushing the limited Koolaid. Wait til they release a new Deep Deepsea with red writing on dial.

You need to organize a GTG and snap a group pic!

[QUOTE=Dyim;5721502]Nice rides. But what's up with the garage?


Lol. That's my front courtyard! My house is on stilts 40 ft. off the ground on a side of a mountain in a canyon in LA. I converted the front yard to my toy gallery. I poured concrete, put up an 8 ft high fence and bought a lift. My wife hates the only usable space goes to cars. My 2014 Range Rover full size goes in the one car garage. I'm thinking about adding a garage door that is a roll up so I don't have to open the gate.

I can't put a roof in, since we're selling this year and hopefully moving to the beach and buyers would hate no sunlight for the front. But when we sell I'll tear out ghetto tent, and take the lift with me. Voila sunlight and usable space for a new family!
