I have a question, and hope some members can offer me some advice/guidance in terms of me trying to land my first Rolex for my collection.

I have an AD about an hour north of my residence. I am looking to buy the following pieces over time -Daytona Panda, Hulk, Batman, Pepsi, Blue Skydweller.

How can I purchase these items new at retail MSRP? From what I have been reading online, since I don't have a purchase history with an AD, it seems like I may have to purchase the more lesser popular models, before you can get a chance to buy the models I listed? It just seems that being a new customer, these items may just be unattainable to purchase new from the AD. Am I correct?

I understand I can get these pieces on the secondary market, but priced thousands of dollars over MSRP.

Any information is much appreciated.

What a lame troll. while you are at it, why don't you stretch your ride to NYC and ask for a 5711 and a 15202.

My first advice would be not to disclose that full list of watches that you seem to be interested to either the AD or this forum.

It might not matter what people on here think but if people on here think you look like a flipper, imagine what the AD will think...

Out of interest, how come you like those particular watches? Instagram can’t be one of your answers.

I was heavy into the vintage baseball card world for the past 15 years. I sold my collection recently, and always liked luxury watches.

I needed a hobby change, and just want to do some homework before make the plunge. I'm always leery about making a high dollar purchase, especially with there being so may clones/fakes out there.

Stay safe everyone.

Well, you sure sound like a real enthusiast.

I already have a 5711. I bought it from your boyfriend few months ago.
