3 in the last 11 months
Hello new friends! So I have to share this story..
In the last 11 months I have been fortunate to purchase a new 2019 Sub Bluesy, DJ41 126300 and just pickedup SS sub w/ date. Last July I decided I wanted to get a Rolex sport watch to celebrate my daughter's birth. I quickly found out that getting a SS Sub was going to be impossible as I called every AD in SF/North Bay and a bunch of other ADs in other states and they pretty much said "good luck". I called around from state to state and FINALLY found a AD in Minneapolis willing to sell me their last Sub (Bluesy) and have it shipped to me. It was a bit more than I wanted to spend but I did it anyway. I took the tt bracelet off and put a Everest blue band on it. Looks great and a bit more subtle. I later found Ivan (from Miami grey market dealer) and he found me a new DJ41 126300 paid $7k. I left a $3k deposit for a OP39 4 months ago at my SF Rolex boutique. Then Covid19 SIP hit I needed my $3k back (temporarily) they blew me off, never called me back. They made it right, called me to apologize and to come pick up my black sub |

I’ve purchased 7 Rolex since February and really just dove in the deepend lol... 3 were grey rest were AD but I was able to get a Batman after 2 weeks and offered another one after 3 weeks from different AD... TT SD43 on the spot at a new AD last Monday and then when I sent him my last 4 days later he got me my bluesy in 30 mins so not really sure what people are taking about lol!?!? Completely new to the watch world but guess I’ve had some damn good luck...

Wow, Congrats, quite an investment! But what people are talking about are SS sports models (Sub, GMTII, SkyD, Daytona etc). The BLNR is the ‘easiest’ to get of the GMT II, but still you’ve been lucky to be offered 2. TT are relatively easy to get, just not in window display Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
