Early 50th Birthday Present to me.
Over the moon that my AD surprised me with this grail watch. I'm so excited that I just want to share my experience.
It's been over 20 yrs since I last bought a Rolex from my AD and then in early 2020 I started to visit my local AD to express interest in several watches that I wanted. Within 3 months they allocated me the BLNR right before Christmas, I was shock to get it since I haven't been a customer with them for awhile. After that I keep in close communication with them in hopes of getting the Daytona for my 50th birthday in 2022 but to my surprised they called me in today to pick up the Daytona. My AD snail mail me an invitation to have me make an appointment to come in. At first I though it was just an AD event but when I arrive I notice that I was the only one and they sat me in a private area. When my SA arrive he was just talking to me to see how I was doing but then he wanted to show me a wall display that was in the boutique. When he flip the switch, the Rolex display started to go up and behind it was a Daytona for me. Once again I was totally shock that they allocated it to me in such a short time span. I have to thank my great AD and all the SA for giving me a Christmas to remember.

And people say there’s nothing in display cases and can’t walk in and buy a daytona off the shelf! Lol.
Congrats and enjoy that amazing watch! |

 This is so awesome for you!!I posted on 11/19 how my wife and SA surprised me for my 50th with the exact same piece. I am still in shock that they pulled it off and dated the card on my actual 50th.
