Got my holy grail 116505 on my random visit to my AD

Got to be my luckiest day today. I just stopped to say hello to my dealer and he surprised me with my grail. This Daytona was on my list for a while and did not have any hopes on it in current market. If anyone is on the list for this or on the fence you should see this in person so subtle and royal.

Here is the pic

CONGRATS! Love it!

Just curious, but was he going to call you to come and get it, or did just coming in and getting lucky what got you the watch?

Been trying to get a 505 myself for a while. You wouldn’t happen to be in NC and got my watch did you

Congrats it’s beautiful. Happy for you

Haha I know, he said he would have called me anyway over the weekend. I went in today just to say hi and also remind him of my Wimbledon watch request he promised for my upcoming birthday and then he came up with this.
I was on list for presidential olive dial and seems Rolex cancelled it after 1 yr and so the store manager decided to make me happy with his apparently. Could not have asked for better.
