Got the call guys! Around 3 months wait time, no prior buying history.
Hello guys, I hope everyone is doing well. I got the call to pick up a 126655 Yachtmaster 40mm yesterday. I had expressed interest in the watch a few months ago. I have a small collection and I was looking for something in a precious metal, I have an older 1803 day date, so ideally I wanted something sportier. For a long time I looked for a nipple dial gold gmt, or a sub, however I never found one I loved. The Yachtmaster was always on my radar but I wasn’t sure until I saw it in person (a friend has one) that I just loved the look, the weight and the feel of it on the wrist. I think it’s such a good looking watch. During the time I waited, I would stop once a week or so by my local AD to chat with the guys, mostly about vintage Rolex, and random stuff, I never asked if they had my watch or if it was coming soon. I would also wear some of my other Rolex pieces so that they would know I was truly a collector of the brand. This one is like nothing I already own so I am super happy I was able to get it. Salud!

Beautiful! Congratulations. Maybe things are starting to turn around. Was it Shreve's?

I can relate so much to your story…… I have take a very similar approach with some of my pieces that I was able to get from AD’s, where I didn't have a history, or that they didn't know me at all.
Great piece, in fact. Last week I was telling my wife that I wish I had picked this piece 2 yrs ago when I had the opportunity, i was in the display box available for purchase at an AD in Miami, Congratulations………. Persistence pays off!! Enjoy it. Salud y Buena Vida! |

Congrats, a superb piece, striking a very good balance of sportiness & elegance.
With Rolex, how you manage to "get the call" is also part of why they are so special nowadays. So congrats for that as well :) |

Love it. It’s such an underrated and extremely versatile watch. I’ve owned the 37 for about 3 weeks now and I can’t take it off. Congrats!

Nice watch! But I don't see the wait time for this model being out of the ordinary. It's not a hype piece.
