Congrats !
Haha. Exactly what I was thinking. Don't know of any other AD sending kisses to their customers.

Just to add to this story, I got another out of the blue email from the same AD a few days ago. Full of lovely surprises is my AD!!

Dear Ragsk,

I have a Daytona black dial for you if you want it.

If so, please let me know when is the best time to visit the shop?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards

Lots more BLRO incomings lately. Maybe Rolex is opening up supply a bit?

I bumped this thread due to the black Daytona incoming. My AD has treated me brilliantly with a few nice incomings. He never calls, just send emails like the one above. And it’s always unexpected - for example I didn’t ask for a Daytona but he offered it to me nonetheless.

I have a great rapport with him and he too values my custom. Win win all round.

Congratulations in advance on the Daytona.

Your AD is amazing. Normally you have to have a lengthy purchase history of pieces that are not so difficult to obtain in order to be allocated these watches. You’re purchase history reads like a Rolex Greatest Hits

That’s crazy. May be time to find an AD who values your business.

Where is the AD based roughly in the U.K. ? I’m assuming further towards Scotland than London?

I’ve brought from multiple AD’s (watches & jewellery) & realised I can get a Patek Phillipe Nautilus sooner than I could get a Daytona!

Based in London. This one is a gem. I have had four watches so far from them: Blue Skydweller, BLNR, BLRO and the Black Daytona. These were all in the last twelve months or a bit more.

I have a great relationship with him. They also know that I’m not a flipper. I do think relationship and rapport is much more important than money spent unless you are in Whale spend territory.

Lol no. Just got lucky with this one. Many ADs nowadays don’t even give you the time of day.

The Daytona looks great. The more I see the black dial, the more I like it, maybe even more than the white.
