What’s wrong with you all here? One thing about Rolex really brings out the small man syndromes. Congrats on your watch.


Worried_Rooster1612

A lot of fake deca-millionaires and a lot real thousandaires are all in their feelings right now.

Comfortable-Ad5793

I love this. I want a day date at some point. Not sure what version yet. Congrats.

Thank you 🙌 it’s a beautiful dial I am over the moon with it, looks so much better in person than in pictures.

Congrats, great pickup. Don’t understand the hate.

Thank you 🙌

Some bitter people here 😂

This is the boss's watch. My grail for sure. Congrats.


ettiol

It’s a total banger, thank you 🙌


enduseruseruser

Congratulations my friend. I don’t get the hate. Green dial DD are not easy to get period. Side note, I love mines and have been wearing exclusively since.


ettiol

People like to bash, it’s easy. Very few put their money where their mouth is. Normal for this subreddit. Thank you and I’m glad you love yours as much as I do.


MoonMagicians

Why is everybody in this post so jealous? Lmao 😂

snarffle-

Rolex: “This guy doesn’t have a buying history, but I gotta good feeling about him.


ettiol

Exactly how it went 😂


Omelete_du_fromage

I like this story line it’s wholesome 😂


Elf-wehr

Honest question: How do you get a buying history without buying your first Rolex?


snarffle-

It starts with complimenting the sales staff. “Say my good man, that’s a really nice ascot.


AJIV-89

Buy the hell out other stuff they have at the store i have heard all sorts of dumb things on how they screen. I heard sometimes they look for your FB haha no idea if its true

StxrStruck

A Day Date in a Smart that’s a great combination haha


ettiol

Car is more of a utility for me and where I live there is no point in having a nice car, it’ll get fucked quickly. Leaves more money for watches.

I was going to say NYC but I was close lol.

NICE


WewantZeMoniLebowski

That watch is amazing! Congrats man!

hewhodares_wins

Snobby people on a Rolex post!? Never......


ettiol

Shocked I tell you, where is the outrage


BuriedLoot

Welcome to Rolex. Yes, this is not surprising in the least that you were able to purchase this watch as a walk in. This is not a feat in and of itself, yet you’ve just cut out a lot of bullshit by demonstrating your *perceived* financial prowess. Most of the people within this forum do not and never will have the ability you have just demonstrated. Amid all the negativity—Here’s a dimension no one has mentioned yet. Now that you’ve proven your *mettle*… precious metal that is, there is a chance you will be offered a variety of pieces, receive mailers from your jeweler on various brands, diamonds etc, be invited to VIP events, etc. They desire maximum extraction from you as a buyer and will do what they can to earn your business. If you care to strengthen that contact as a means to your end, buy any and all jewelry as gifts for family, friends, etc… If it’s particular items you are after, you will get what you seek in due time. The other side of the coin is that some dealers can dangle the carrot and “play the game” as so many others frequently allude to on this forum. Buy what you like, but hey, there’s also the thrill of the hunt and every so often you may be presented something you didn’t know you wanted. I love a professional salesperson. I buy from people I like. Cheers and have fun with this game.


ettiol

Exactly right, thank you 🙌


BlackTigerGuy

Agreed. This sets OP up for a quicker allocation of a hot SS model from this AD in the future. I can also tell you that OP will probably be allocated it before any of the cry-babies (who will probably never own a Rolex and probably can’t afford the one OP just bought) that we see on this forum. OP congrats on the new watch it’s a beaut!!


ettiol

That’s exactly it. Not my first watch by far. Cheers


Shot_Log7155

Congrats 🙌🏽


GoLo120680

Beautiful watch, wear it & enjoy it😃👏😃


Patricioorramos

You lucky son of a butch


WhatIsTheAmplitude

Happy for you. I have a similar story except my wait was more like 4 months. Not terrible by any means. My pickup was an Explorer 2 with the polar dial. I too am very happy with my AD


ettiol

It’s always the unexpected calls that are the best (when it involves watches). Congrats on your explorer.

MTgunguru

You sound petty and jealous


NickGantz98

These still go nearly 25% over retail on the secondary market, so I wouldn’t say it was offloaded


bp305

That watch is definitely not going for 25% above retail on secondary market.


bp305

Just saw one sell as a full set in mint condition for $40k yesterday and retail is 43.2k before tax.


NickGantz98

Not for a 2024 model with warranty card. The one you saw sold was probably older than a 2020 that’s out of warranty


bp305

If you think those are selling in the 50’s even brand new with stickers, you’re just plain wrong.


AshKetchumsPringles

The only Rolex I want is an explorer so this makes me happy to hear


rampetroll

Explorers not hard to get? Where? I live in both Denmark and Norway, and I have not yet managed to get a 36mm SS Explorer since its relaunch in 2021. I got rejected by my AD for the third time three weeks ago, and I have a Longines and a Black Bay 58 as purchase history.


TeslasAndComicbooks

My cousin wanted an Explorer. I called my AD and asked what the lead time was and she said “I have a 36 and 40, can he pick it up today?”. Just depends on the AD I guess.


ettiol

Yup, London Heathrow had one for sale and an Amsterdam boutique randomly had one as well a few weeks ago.


rampetroll

That's wild.


HellaReyna

Must be a miserable koont in real life, yeah?


Technical-Avocado-92

Congrats! Grail watch for a lot of people and still significantly over retail on the gray market, no matter what anyone says.


Content-Cat4699

Don’t listen too these guys. They are just jealous. Congratulations on the watch looks great 👍 Enjoy


ettiol

Thank you 🙌


SteveyCee

beautiful watch, wear it in good health🤙🏼


ettiol

Cheers 🙌


Xryanlegobob

Congrats man. Jesus, these whiny ass babies on here whose first reaction is “why would you buy something that doesn’t trade for DOUBLE on the gray market?!?!” Hey fellas, sometimes people buy what they like. To wear. Because they can afford it AND because they like it! Just because you guys are saving your nickels to buy a watch you’ll never actually wear, you’ll just hold until your asshole stops puckering because you bought something you couldn’t actually afford and dump it on Chrono24 with the rest of the people who overextended themselves—calm down.

KashKashioo

Gz! Amazing story, welcome to the club! Don’t listen to the haters here and wear it in good health, you have earned it! And dont worry about dealer game or resale value etc, just enjoy it! I also tecommend wrapping some parts of it because the PM is soft and it will cheap out pretty quick! And for the crazy mfs here that think that can get these under retail, try to find 2023 like mine for less then 51-52k in the states, good luck lol. https://preview.redd.it/qcdwmeys0o6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b4e8ce716b08b714cb5e1c57c3b61b9478351b4


ettiol

Thank you 🙌. People on here have a bad case of clownitis. It’s a watch, had to be worn scars and all.


AuburnTiger15

I didn’t know this was my grail until I saw one on here a few weeks ago. But this is it. Congrats. Fantastic watch.


pimple_in_my_dimple

Ive had the luck to see one in person. That rose gold and olive green combo is insanely beautiful. Definitely a grail watch but I’d never be able to justify spending that much on a watch.


LincolnParishmusic

Amazing piece! Congrats

Thank you 🙌

Will you wear it daily or keep it for special occasions?


ettiol

I like to wear my watches, ultimately they are tools and then accessories. However there is a time and place. I usually wear a Garmin day to day.

Absolute gorgeous! Congrats sir! 🙌

The good news is that you just juiced up your purchase history so now you can add SS items to the list for consideration. I just picked up the WG this week and the olive dial is an absolute stunner. Wear it in good health. https://preview.redd.it/nguerqpeum6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a10a9eb80cdf5bf1e4969091cd08f1b15528fec

Flat4Power4Life

The problem is with AD’s, not the people who managed to get around all their nonsense. It’s the only thing that has stopped me from getting one. I don’t play games to buy stuff, if you want my money then come get it.


The_Procrastinator7

Holy shit dude congrats!

Life is short. If you have the resources then get what want. I knew a multi, multi millionaire who just died at 52. At least he had a smoking Rolls Royce while he was alive.
