LeBron wants Rainbow Daytona

In Orlando visiting Rolex AD and talked to a sales person wearing Batgirl. While looking at the PM Rolex’s they mention LeBron requested Rainbow Daytona and they said no because he did not have purchased history with AD. In the last few years I have seen Mark Wahlberg, Adam Levine Anthony Davis (LeBron’s teammate)wearing Rainbow Daytona. It’s 86k USD watch going for ~245k USD. Not really fan PM Rolex with rubies but I was amazed looking at one at the AD (Date Just). The sales person mentioned it take two years to make the watch. I think the Rose Gold Rainbow Daytona is the best looking modern Rolex.

Anyone agree?

I would love to see wrist shots from lucky owners

There is. Put it into the Rolex website search box and you'll find it really easily. It'll be next to the Pepsi and just along from the Hulk, Smurf, Bluesy and Rootbeer.

No. There's isn't.

"Batman" does however pull up the BLNR on jubilee.

Anyway, an AD saying no to Lebron is laughable.

Give it time and you'll get satisfaction when "Batgirl" is on there too. Just need to be patient.

Just because Rolex panders to the idiocy of the internet for the purposes of its website search engine does not mean that Rolex refers to any of its watches by their stupid "nicknames"

One would argue that by allowing their database to draw results based on the 'idiocy of the internet' , would be accepting the reference to said watch.

Acknowledging and accepting are two very different things

And “Batgirl” draws a blank

I too doubt they’d tell him no. Paying 400% retail should be instant “purchase history”

Pretty sure Lebron can get any watch he wants. He had a watch deal with AP. Also to mention Anthony Davis was wearing a custom rainbow Daytona not a original. But if Tyga and Asap Rocky can find a Rainbow Daytona I cant see why Lebron wouldn't be able to get one. But on this forum the shortage agenda is serious. So i will just read through ppl comments.

Maybe that store told him they don’t have one. No idea what the hell lebron would be doing shopping in Orlando though to be honest. LA more believable.

If lebron wants a rainbow Daytona his people could phone Rolex and they’d send him one overnight.

No one would turn away Lebron James from purchasing a watch because he had no prior purchase history at the AD. Let's be real. You'd have to be the dumbest business owner on the face of the earth to pass on all those free social media impressions.

It's possible she told you this story after you called her BLNR a Batgirl? I didn't hear of anyone calling the Pepsi anything but a Pepsi after it went to a jubilee...

It makes no sense for an AD to piss off their VIP's by prioritizing celebrities that aren't loyal to them.
