At the AD today. Sales lady said Rolex sent out a statement that they weren't going to make anymore rhodium dial yachtmasters already. Anyone else heard this? Maybe meant platinum dial? Sales tactic? Just checking what people know.

cancel a new model in the first year. makes a ton of sense.

What! I just saw the first pics yesterday!

Had it on at my AD yesterday. They told me they were selling a lot of them.

Only Rolex knows. Seriously doubt a new model would be cancelled. I could see the platinum being discontinued with the gray dial rhodium model doing well.

wouldn't make any sense to me, barely anyone has seen it yet.

i think they also had a TT Rhodium dial YM previously... not sure if that's already been discontinued?

She said Rolex sent a statement. I don't know. Assuming it might be the platinum dial. Makes no sense to discontinue a model announced 5 months ago. Either that or just slimy slimy sales tactics.

Wouldn't be the first time an AD salesperson didn't have a clue what was going on. Who knows though?

My salesperson told me last week she heard the platinum dial was going to be discontinued, which is a rumor I've seen on TRF. I'm sure if one is going to be discontinued it will be the one that's been around longer than a few months.

Perhaps they were selling too fast?

If I had a dollar for every boneheaded thing a salestron said...
I'd have a Platona by now

I think she's confused.
