"vetted and qualified"...did you roll up in an exotic or high luxury vehicle perhaps in full view of the staff? :)

I wish. There have been some lively and spirited discussions on the topic of vetting and qualifying. This is a great one:

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...ckground+check

And I’ve shared my own thoughts and perspective on how I believe ADs/SAs vet, qualify, and background check their prospective customers:

https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost...0&postcount=70

People have numerous and varied opinions on the topic.

That would be more of a Smurf I reckon.

I had an STi also, and a Baja STi! Now I'm a Tesla nerd like everyone else.

Congrats OP!


But let’s be honest there’s not ‘hundreds’ on a bluesy waitlist at any AD, not even NYC

All I took away from this is vetted/qualified and no history.

Wow you are one lucky guy. Congrats!! It’s so hard to get your hands on any of the SS or TT subs now a days. This watch goes for easily $21-24k USD new in the grey mkt.

I'm hoping for a no date. Other than Daytona, always had a date on a Rolex...

Nice! Congrats! Not to take anything away from your post but getting a stainless steel sub is much tougher, ADs are typically glad to sell you the TT
