Interested in one myself - can someone from the UK PM me as to which ADs (ideally London based) are taking orders/waiting lists.

Thank you

SS Daytona Ceramic: ORDER PLACED

#1 on My AD's List! I was told it will be more than $12K but they don't have a price yet.

Three AD's I know said I was first to enquire but full well know these list are false, I've just registered my interest and left my details and will see what happens.

Sadly the AD I know who would stand by their word if I was 1st I would be getting it have recently closed down, such a shame as it was a family run business

Ha ha - I was #1 with my AD for the Sea Dweller 116600 when I ordered it 10 minutes after it was revealed in Basel, and I received it on the 2nd May - the day of the UK launch.

It will be the 5th Rolex I've bought from them so I'm pretty confident the same will happen with the Daytona. And if not, there will not be a 6th!

I'm not pointing out anyone...just making a broad comment...as it's very true (MANY will be disappointed)

The whole list thing is a PR exercise, they just weigh your wallet to order the list from first to last 😃

Congrats. Has to be white dial on this one. The black dial is more elegant on the 116520, imo.

I wonder what Ellen's watch collection looks like...looks like every time she's on set it's a new Rolex.

Seems like the price will have to higher than the $12,000USD that it has been since 2012...?

Just noticed the spacing between letters is very wide on the Rolex text, doesn't look good.

Not sure what list they have, but called up the Wynn Rolex in Vegas since my wife bought her watch there before they opened...surprisingly someone picked up and passed my name to a sales rep (confirmed after they opened). Seems like they're not starting any official lists yet but got my info and I'm "1st" whatever that means....I guess it helps I told them I'd pay full for the watch now....they just don't know the price/specs yet so they didn't want to take any $$ yet. Fingers crossed!

I don't have a price yet but my Rolex AD confirmed, in writing, that I would have the very first white face that comes in to them.

They did say I have 24 hours from the phone call to come pick it up. (I left my card on file)

I'm going to my local AD at lunch time to get on the list. I hope the AD will be fair since I never bought anything from them before.

Just placed a pre-order (#1 in the queue!) for a white dial at La Difference in the Toronto area. It seems like they're the only ones taking pre-orders in the GTA. Both Damiani and Royal de Versailles says that they are not going to take pre-orders until they get more details on pricing and availability.

I figure that there is probably going to be no discount anyway so just bit the bullet and pre-ordered and put in a deposit. I asked them about changing my mind and they said that they will issue a full refund since "there will be a lot of demand" :D

Here (Zürich) one has been able to walk into Bucherer and get a SS Daytona right away for about 2 years now, demand has not been what it used to, certainly no waiting list. May be different elsewhere.
