My local AD doesn't have the new 114060 in yet. I added my name on a list of people who want one.
They said I could pay for it now and as soon as it comes in I would get it. Instead of someone getting there before me. And if I pre-paid then Rolex might send one earlier.
Any one else do this? Did it work out? Seems odd.

I wouldn't bother, sounds like your AD just wants a confirmed sale. After the inital hype and rush it won't take longer than a couple of months before these are sitting in the display cases and as readily available as every other rolex and probably being discounted. Already been lots for sale in the forum For Sale section..

agree.

i am waiting for hype to die down a bit. i forsee after new year 2013 i should be gettin one.

Rolex won't send one any quicker, regardless of whether people have placed money on them. Be patient, these won't be in short supply

I certainly wouldn't pre-pay for any watch, let alone a mass-produced Rolex that will be sitting in the windows at every mall in America soon enough. Heck, I wouldn't even pay list price for it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm getting one for sure, but not until the hype subsides.

Unless you MUST HAVE IT first I would wait for 1-2 months....then you can just pick one up in store....that's what I did with my new 42mm Expy II....up to you though mate - you win either way, but the second way you may save a few bucks!

Which hype do you mean,114060?
Never was never will ,that watch will be a dust collector at ADs
The real advantage they ve released that it made a hype around the 14060 ,which is really a great watch

I wouldn't pre-pay for any watch. In fact, I would have a hard time giving that AD my business after being told that load of crap

Brenngun · 2 August 2012, 07:21 AM

Hype .......

Well 14060 discountinued couldn t be closer to the end:-)

kymwatchlog · 2 August 2012, 06:49 PM

probably the hype resulted from the fact they are new they are still fresh in the market.

i am sure the 14060 live on 4ever :)

Here too. I really wonder about these 'lists'. I've been spun this line in the past, sometimes to shortly thereafter find the model in question in the AD's display. Really, it's all just sales tactics

Pre-payment is a bad idea... sounds like full retail, no discount, money which could be earning you interest...

Plus, you will want to look the watch over carefully before parting with a Cent

X2.......plus that's a lot of cash to pay upfront, if the shop closed you'd lose all your money. Better off putting down the bare minimum if anything or talk to a trusted seller right here on TRF. Saves you some money and you get the watch now, good luck.
