Oh no... 5167.
I was in San Francisco today looking at watches, saw some great Rolex at Tourneau, failed completely at checking out a Royal Oak, and even though I wasn't sold on Patek at all after looking at them on the net I ended up trying on an Aquanaut.Holy crap it is simply amazing. The sales guy tried a hard sell using rarity, financing, layaway, anything to sell it then. I normally buy from their Palo Alto AD so I called my salesperson and asked about rarity and how difficult it is to get one in. She said they don't get them in much and if I wanted it she could send it down from the main office and I could compare to the bracelet version. A quick deposit later and well... Despite never thinking I'd get a Patek I'm going to buy one next Saturday.Now as for the watch itself, the net does no justice to how it looks and feels on the wrist. I was wearing my beloved Hulk and when I put on the Patek my Hulk felt like a big clunky hunk of metal (sorry Hulk). I just love the Aquanaut and I think

Dealer Ramblings
Piling onto an ongoing discussion/debate, I had the occasion to visit two AD's this past week, one my home AD, the other a smaller market independent. Both said they have not received the letter. Both said by their standards, it's been business as usual so far for 2018. My store, the Rolex Boutique here in town says they have received some of all of the professional models so far this year. There is some backlog due to the Christmas rush so the allocation models have all gone straight to customers waiting on the list. They expect to be back to a more normal flow post Basel unless stuff there creates a new rush.The other smaller market store had just received an order that morning that included all of the allocation models except a Daytona. He said in January they had received replinishment orders that are routine, replacing pieces they have sold. The manager there asked that I not share their information as they do not sell to people we don't know i.e. random phone calls.Both told me t

Are we becoming rare?
It seems like most every where I go, I tend to look at watches in the wild. Why oh why do I just see the apple or fit bit style watches? And believe me, I live in a fairly upscale area in a northern suburb of DFW. Are most people wearing their luxury watches to the office only? I figured the goods would be out on the weekends, but I don't really see that here.

Can Rolex find out about flipping the Daytona? If so, does that get back to the AD an
My previous post got a little hectic and I wasn't able to ask this question so I figured I'd start a new post. Most of you said that I should get the DaytonaC and sell it. Can that get back to Rolex and hurt the AD for selling to me? The last thing I'd like to do is get my AD in trouble. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
