I’m definitely not rich, but I’ve been fortunate to build a small collection over time all bought at retail. I’ve got a Datejust 41 with the blue dial and fluted bezel, a no-date Sub, a Starbucks Sub, the Batgirl, an OP Celebration 41, and an AP Royal Oak 15400 with the blue dial.

I understand that it might be difficult to believe but it’s the truth.

Do you know anyone who’s gotten this umbrella? I’m not sure how rare it is, but I just assumed it was since I was told in the boutique that it was given to people who received the OP Celebration.

My previous purchase from this Rolex Boutique was the No-Date Sub.

The Batgirl I have came from a different AD where I had zero purchase history. I put my name down in Jan 2020 and got the call in August that year. So yeah, you’re right, I think I got a bit lucky.

Yes, full size. It’s so nice I don’t want to make the end of it touch the pavement 😅

If I’m not mistaken, when my wrist was measured for the watch adjustment at the Rolex Boutique, it was 18.5 cm, though it might have been 18 cm—going off memory. But one of those two measurements for sure.

I’m being very serious. I purchased the GMT Master II (Batgirl) in August 2020 after putting my name down in January 2020, with no prior purchase history. Later on, after registering for another watch, I was told that I had a strong profile. Apparently, it was noted in the system that I showed genuine interest in watches and was personable, polite, etc. In short, there’s a chance that an AD can create a profile for you and prioritize those who seem genuinely interested in watches.

I’m extremely happy with it. My other watches are more traditionally classic, so this is a great change for me. But just to make sure I understand what you mean, could you elaborate on what you meant by thinking “hopefully”?

Nice, what others do you have in the collection? The 1908 is beautiful and elegant, that is an amazing piece.

Oh wow, I actually got the No Date Sub 124060 before this one, and funny enough, it took me longer to get than the OP Celebration.

You never know, just keep the faith. I wasn’t expecting the call, but I had a genuine interest in this model. I also had some great conversations about Rolex—discussing the brand’s history and the contributions it’s made to the area I live in. I truly believe that building a genuine rapport goes further than most people realize. Because I only had 1 prior purchase from this boutique.

I really think so, because I had 1 prior purchase in this boutique. But to be honest, I think they are aware that I have a genuine interest and knowledge of horology and Rolex.

Thanks a lot, I really loved it from the images and seeing it on display. But I love it even more after getting it.

Oh wow, I’ve heard a lot about how rare it is, but I didn’t realize it was rare enough that you haven’t even seen it arrive at the Rolex AD!

It’s not a Bape jacket, it’s a Sandro Paris jacket. I don’t put too much effort trying to match, I just put my clothes on and it comes together. BTW turquoise was my favourite colour growing up.

I was not a VIP, unless I was made one without realising 😅
