His and Her Daytona RBRs and a third wheel...pic heavy

[Rolexnabzy]

Apologies in advance for the picture overload....

Although I have never been a huge fan of diamond bezels, I really liked the look of the new reference 2024 Daytona MOP OF with the diamond bezel 126589 RBR and then when my wife also picked it out as something she would also like to wear I decided to ask my AD on its availability....he eventually came back to me last month and informed me that Rolex had notified him that they would receive only one this year along with the matching 126579RBR full WG bracelet with the MOP colors in reverse..

So I asked him to reserve the oysterflex which he duly did...

Fast forward to last week and he told me to get my wallet ready as the watch would be available for pick up this week, he also informed me that the 126579 RBR would be available to me if I decided on the pair and he would hold it until I had a chance to view the watch....

Well let's just say the rest is history and I ended up picking up both watches with the intention to give the OF to the wife and the full gold bracelet for myself....As the AD is a 40 minute flight from me, he promised that when I come next with the wife he will provide the right size oysterflex bands for my wife....until then I guess I will just have to wear it

If I'm being honest, still getting used to a full diamond bezel but I do love the way the MOP dials reflect in the light, truly beautiful....

Was provided with some nice swag....a couple of polo shirts, a Rolex pen and a first for me some Rolex shades

Also, got to try on some off catalog pieces that were available....one yachtmaster and a completely blinged out daydate....but not for me and funds are now completely depleted

AD has multiple stores and this was the first time I have visited this particular AD store and it had quite an impressive selection for purchase from Explorers, datejusts, subs and some exotic daydate dials including platinum dials....

I do realize such MOP and diamond dial watches are very much an acquired taste and not to many people suiting but as a Daytona fan who likes to collect rare things I do feel both of these will be rather unique and rare which will make them prized pieces in the collection....

As for the third wheel....that was a Yachtmaster 40 blue dial that I picked up for a friend who will be presenting it for his father's birthday....blue dial really pops on this one...

Enjoy the watch candy

Vegas Baby. Just feels like a Vegas AD that you’ve developed the right relationship with (e.g. drop serious cash, yet still don’t get SS sports model calls). Wink…

Congratulations

Come to think of it that's why he might have given me the shades as a gift

I think I really hit the jackpot with this AD and met him by off chance on vacation in Bahrain... looking for a specific daydate for the wife, ended up being the owners son...eventually sold me my wifes watch at a sizeable discount....

The relationship has been less than 3 months but in that time he has delivered 4 PM models 3 of which are not easy to obtain and also delivered a blue skydweller on jubilee, blue Tudor chrono and in 2/3 weeks will be flying back to Bahrain for a GRNR for my father's 80th....with promises of a green skydweller and panda by Jan/feb.....

But it's just the extra mile he and his whole team goes, personally driving me to airport/train station (and I thought I had a nice car) and gifts etc...can't recommend them enough....

Dont take my word for it....Check out the Google reviews for their Bahrain and Khobar stores....more than a thousand reviews and 5 stars...says alot....Kooheji Rolex and Tudor

Congratulations on those pieces and wear them in good health.
I was wondering where the AD was located, those are some serious pieces and the others in the pictures are too.

[Zach69SS]

Humongous congrats, what a whole lotta Bling! The MoP dial is fantastic….
Wear them in good health and enjoy…. Like the pen ��️ not to crazy about the shades….shirts are very nice , although you should have received that famous Rolex 18 travel box too. for those 2 caching ………

I love a Daytona any Daytona. I’m a big diamond guy but stunning nonetheless..

Cheers,

[CarlOver]

Very unique. Will most likely see another in the wild….enjoy!

[sampelligrino]

Wow thanks for sharing the pics, those MOP dials look stunning and I'm sure even better in person. Enjoy in good health!

[Guppydriver]

That’s an expensive little trip!!

Congrats on some really special references !!!! I hope you both wear them in the best of health!

[BNA/LION]

Congratulations to you both!

[aowatchcollection]

Congrats! Love the polos lol!

[marmite2005]

Congrats!!!! Fantastic watches and loving the swag

[Rolexnabzy]

Thanks for all the congratulatory messages....a few extra pics...

So far preferring the dial of the oysterflex but love the way the full WG bracelet feel on the wrist...

As for the polo's, quality is good but the large only fits my skinny 14 year old daughter XL not much better....

Too cool

Great looking watches! Congrats.

I just looked on Rolex.com

I swore they used to have a baguette bezel WG OF Daytona, but I can’t find it.

Are you referring to this model....the price of this reference alone almost matches my two watches combined 126539TBR

Comes in Rose gold as well

Congrats! I need shades just to look at your photos
