I spoke to the manager at my AD today, she informed me I would be waiting at least 2 years for the Sky-Dweller I want and reminded me how rare the 116508 Green is. Plus, I was watching Jimmy Kimmel after the LSU Clemson game yesterday and Tim Allen was on wearing the 116508 green. So I’m back on that one... their new factory rep was in for his first visit yesterday. He told them Rolex closed over 400 ADs in 2019 and expect to close 27 more in 2020. Trying to catch up supply to demand I guess. She also told me they hope to have my watch in soon...a shipment is expected any day actually. Fingers crossed!!

Man what is $4k really when you’re already in at 36 ?? The watch has staying power, you’ve waited long enough, and a sky dweller SS is already a year out. Take the Daytona now

I have a TT SkyD and a SS Seadweller and would swap both of them for a Green Daytona any day of the week.

Was offered a TT SeaDweller last week but didn’t really feel it...

We're talking about 40k here. That should get you something special, something you'll cherish for the rest of your life. If there's nothing in the current line up does that, well, I'd hang on to that 40k until you find something that does.

Good luck!
Very good advice there

400 ADs in 19 and only 27 in 20, that's interesting! Rolex saying Mission Accomplished?
4K is 4K but with your new mindset of not selling, the 4K over the next 20+ years is nothing. Congrats in advance on a nice acquisition and don't forget to send pictures or it didn't happen.
