Cancelled. Removed name from ‘list”

[TikTok]

Had my name down for a 126500LN Daytona. A visit to my AD convinced me to take my name off their list. My AD is great and have looked after me in the past so no issues with them at all. I’m at a certain age and there seemed a reasonable chance that I may never see it. Life’s too short as they say so will look elsewhere. Theres plenty out there to scratch the itch.

I find this insane - I got my SS Daytona after under a year on the list ! uk based

[davek35]

Sorry to hear that it didn't work out for you. Kind of been there. And life is too short.

I really like the Zenith Chrono Sport. Love those sub dial colors! It's the only over 40mm watch I'd even consider. But I understand that it's not the Daytona you wanted.

Good luck!

Dealing with only one AD is never a good idea. Perhaps you didn't need it anyway. Not my favorite Rolex!

Good for you but don’t think that is remotely close to the norm

You are probably right

I would probably have stayed on it, as one have nothing to lose and no obligations by being on the list. One can make a decision if the call comes

[Giovannibravo]

Some people are just completely turned off by the watch given the games played to get one. I would just go grey. Life is too short.

Ah … I see.

He might get the call a month after he goes gray ala the fellow who posted 2 BLNR recently.

Grey …. Not really, more like bald.
I have effectively given up on the Daytona. I wont be looking for one anywhere.

[Kevin of Larchmont]

I can understand the peace of mind angle but one could simply remain indifferent to the expectation without informing the AD. Desires of the heart migrate after all.

Buy a Speedmaster, its worth it in ever way

[gerry100]

Did the AD cry or beg when you gave them the news?

The Calibre 321 is another level. However, I do feel the basic Moonwatch is quite expensive for what is being offered.

The grey Daytona, while being a terrible value, is a steal compared to what an AD will charge you.

One must have the attitude, if a Daytona shows up from an AD, great, if it doesn't so what. Just buying Rolex watches from the store really is not much help. You need to be a good customer who buys regularly, i.e., for special occasions, other merch from the store. Since it seems jewelry stores have a monopoly on the sale of new Rolex watches, those folks who love jewelry for themselves and others have a clear upper edge for allocations.

Amazing but this is very rare. I have a Rolex and non Rolex spend and I have no chance at my AD

I have the 321 and can attest that is another level! I also gave up on the 12 series daytona...but not because of the wait (I want a TT not a SS). I took my name off the list once I had a chance to try on the new 12 series and I did not like it. I prefer the 11 series...so I am sitting back and waiting as 11 series TT prices are creeping down slowly...

Can you share what makes the 321 special? As someone with virtually no knowledge of the 321, it looks like just another speedmaster to me. Thanks - and not trying to throw shade - genuinely curious.

Look at the movement. It’s a famous Lemania based caliber used in haute horological pieces from Breguet, Patek, and others. It’s also the actual movement worn on the moon.

I bet you were just a week away from getting the call as well.

The economy allied to impossibility to flip Rolex’s will soon render these lists null and void. ADs heading back to the days of begging for a sale and full displays

I dont get this at all?

What is the harm in staying on a list?

Who knows, they may get one in tomorrow.
