Icon20 All SS models are back + INCOMING 116610LV

Hello,

I went to my AD 3 weeks ago to place an order for a 116610LV, but they had zero SS sports models to choose from and I was put in a waiting list for the hulk. One week later I received a call from a gray dealer who sourced a new LV for a mere $10,660. I took your advice (thanks) and passed.

Two days ago my AD called "Your LV is here" I drove like crazy to reach there before close, and when I got there..... man let me tell you the store was filled with SS models SD43, DSSD Blue, LN, 114060, BLNR, LVc

I paid $9,466 which is the new retail price. Man that watch looks amazing in person




and a family pic

Congrats!

I almost got one 3yrs ago. I'm always on the fence with this- somedays I love it, somedays I don't. But that pic shows the beauty of the watch and has got me thinking again...

So we know Rolex loves SA and hates the UK. We are going to learn a lot about Rolex's preferences over the next few months.

Is this a currency play or a new universal price?
