Dear Sir,

Thank you for sending email to us regarding the new red and black GMT II in steel model. This particular watch is new model from 2018 Baselword collection and only released on Rolex website. Currently we are facing very long EOI ( Expression of interest ) list and our headoffice decided not to take any name down from public, in the furture if the list reduced we will open to the public again. And this model hasn’t ready for selling yet, it may release to the market end of the year. Thank you.

Best regards
I wonder what the “furture” will bring “if the list reduced?” Re the heretofore not-unveiled all-new steel red and black GMT?

Yes,.......to finish first, first you gotta finish, as the cliche goes.
Nice to see the Rothmans liveried Porsches.
Alonso to take it through to the end? Toyota almost
deserve a win after last years disappointment.
Which car's your coach driving?

Yes, sounds like Chinglish. Most of the Rolex and Omega ADs in Sydney and Melbourne are Chinese owned and the service is truly abysmal. They are happy to just deal with PRC tourists who come in by the busload or offer new watches to their friends. In fact, local customers are probably considered a nuisance. I bought two watches from Swiss Concept in Sydney and the Asian guy wouldn't even put my name down for a Hulk.

I will only ever now deal with grey market dealers.

The ADs in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha usually have decent stock. Two years ago my wife went to buy a sub date in Dubai and was asked what colour she wanted. Does any one know what the SS supply situation in HK is like? They have over 100 ADs in HK alone.

Well, in fairness to them, their translation into English is far better than my translation back into Asian would be..
