This is in no way sufficient evidence that the new watches are available. Literally one picture of the watch. I’ve never heard of them being released before the first look events at the end of this month. Just because some grey dealer posts one for sale doesn’t mean it’s available.

Settle down TimeToWatch!

I said becoming available and they have a shipment date of two weeks. Chronext has always been reliable in my experience.

My friend got his Daytona on May 16, 2016, one of the first released. I would expect the earliest one could have a new release this year is likewise mid-May.

They're now offering a new GMT Master II at 'only' a £3700 mark-up!
It's REALLY annoying though that Grey Dealers can get these so quickly but customers can't!

This must be one of the first on the market. It should be easy for Rolex to find out which AD sold it to a grey.
It should....no...has to have consequences for the AD in my optinion.

They have a shop in Cologne and offer a lot of watches, new, used and neo vintage. Most of the time they supply very quick but sometimes they stall the customer. The advertised delivery says two weeks and after a week followas another week and another and......and there are more than a few out there who canceled their deals.
So experiences are mixed.
But if they can make an unboxing video they should have the watch on the spot.

I have been saying it in every post, this thing is going to explode if I had the coin, I would get in now.

The greys do not realize it, they will soon.

I'm expecting the new SS Pepsi prices to be insane! Glad I'm getting mine at MSRP through my AD.
