I don’t know where is the OP based and I don’t know how can someone even send me a watch from a different country if at all… can someone please throw some light here how does this work? Do I need to pay customs? Will it be door step delivery? Stupid questions but always wondered if I buy from a different country, how will it be possible. Not sure it’s so easy in my country. Based in India.

Agreed. That’s a sad story.

I think I deserve a SS Daytona with white dial (116500LN) for myself. :D

@vh2k - you're a great guy for this

I won last time - or was one of the winners - but unfortunately had to pass. Who ever got the watch is very lucky!

Nothing special for me this time around, but am waiting on my AD to come through on a 126000 (silver dial w gold hands) or 124200 (same dial) - let me know if you see these :)

I certainly understand going for the grail steel sports Rolex piece (GMT, Sub, Daytona, etc.). Chances are pretty low. Even the OP41 and Explorer II are a long shot.

Without giving anything away, I’m pretty confident I’ll end up with something good (or maybe two). Will it be the exact model someone has requested? We shall see.

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate what you're doing! I wish everyone the best of luck as well!

Thank you so very much for doing this again. It’s thoughtful, generous and fun at a time when we all need fun. Like last time, I’d be grateful for a shot at a PM Sky-Dweller, 326935. Again, thanks.

Like last time, the lucky person(s) will likely be a Rolex or Tudor lover who wants something that isn’t the obvious super hot flippable reference. Or, maybe this time, the reference will be something that’s somewhat hard to get.

And as a reminder, TRF Pledge Members will jump to the front of the queue.

I want to meet you, shake your hand, and buy you a drink if I win! You are a super hero for even concocting this idea in the first place, and then having the class and gumption to do it all over again! Thank you!

I want to be in. But I don't know what I'm fighting for. Can someone explain please

I've now worked it out. Amazing gesture. Well done.

I'm UK based so I expect that rules me out. Good luck to everyone!

I love it and I may just join you. Next time I see pretty much any s/s Rolex at msrp, I may grab it and offer it here as well. Power to us people. It's gotta be a guarantee to sell here regardless. Since I am not after any Rolex pieces atm it will be first come first serve.

I too, would like to buy OP a drink ! PM next time you're in the Bay Area.

meant to post this here not on the round 1 thread lol

I’m on the hunt for a blue dial Milgauss myself. But I don’t think I can afford it. Passed one up at AD last year. #workingclasslife
