Congrats, you are very lucky. I want one too, but I have essentially given up.

Nice watch, but would prefer it on oyster bracelet for sure. So, white gold version is vastly preferred, but if it were available in 904L (OysterSteel) with brushed center links, that would be the best. Wish I had one.

I’ve been waiting just to see one too, much less have the opportunity to buy at list

Heart wrenching. Hard to imagine an animal can have such an effect, but they surely can.

So sorry to hear about your best friend. Lost my 12-year companion almost two years ago. I miss her every day. It doesn't get easier - we just learn to live with the pain.

He didn´t. I think it was a type comment turning green.

In some places it may seem impossible to get one at MSRP without some other type of business to go along, but at others it is normal business.

I just got mine at MSRP plus tax and yes I have bought other watches but nothing big. The only thing that the dealer told me is I will sell it to you MSRP but cash or check. Going with a credit card 12 monthly payments no interest cost me an additional 5% which was the commission charged by the bank to the merchant. Still a very good deal. I also get a 1% cashback on that.

Awesome score!! Has anyone done a comparison of the new GMT case to last years GMT case??? I would like to see the difference. I am assuming this will be the new case for the upcoming new Sub as this is how Rolex rolls in a new watch.

But still 5% is nothing compared to 100% mark up in grey market.

I’d also be interested in this comparison.

Jealous of OP... gorgeous watch.

Speculation but also how Rolex rolls out a new model. The new movement in the new GMT case was this year and you have a very good look at what probably the Sub will look like. History has shown this is the way Rolex operates. I have a new incoming CHNR tomorrow and now have a vested interest in what exactly changed this year with the GMT case. I know they enlarged the guts to fit the new movement but also said they changed the lugs and created a new way of manufacturing this case to give it more shine (if thats even possible).

Nice !!

Went to the only Rolex dealer around here to see about putting a deposit down on the Pepsi BRLO. Was told I had to pay in full and it was 3+ years waiting list. Oh well... Have to wear my 16710 Pepsi :0
