Rolex AD

[RolexDan82]

Well, I picked the wrong time to want to start a Rolex collection as these last two years have been tough. I love the Air King and have been waiting since October on my authorized dealer’s wait list. I am not an established customer.

However, my wife and I recently went to Las Vegas and visited the AD inside of the Wynn. She showed my wife and I a bunch of watches, and my wife, who had not been into watches, fell in love with some of the two-tone date-just watches. We left our information and told our sales associate how long we were going to be in town.

Before we left, I got a text and was able to get a 41 mm everose gold date-just with chocolate dial for my wife. It is a beautiful watch, particularly for a woman, although I can see why a guy would love it too. Wasn’t the watch for me, but my wife was literally in love and it is beautiful.

The sales associate seemed to indicate that I would have a good shot at an Air King and we told her that we were coming back in September. I do not really understand all the ins and outs of allocations, do I have a shot at an Air King in a few months? I mean, the Air King is not a sought after watch the way a Daytona or GMT Master is, but from talking to some dealers, seems somewhat hard to come by.

If I happen to buy an Air King from this place, does that put me in a decent position for something more sought after in the future, like a GMT Master, without waiting years? She surprisingly made it seem that I could score a Sky Dweller, which I do like, in the white gold with oystersteel band, but that to me seems like a somewhat hard watch to get. Interested in the thoughts of more experienced Rolex owners.
