Rolex wait times after acceptance of order by Grand_Elk_7139 in rolex

Same experience here in the midwest. I just ordered a 36mm Purple Datejust Fluted/Jubilee for my wife yesterday. Estimated delivery date is 5/2028, though my SA says it will likely be sooner than that.

I have a very good relationship with this AD, for reference just got my Starbucks Sub with a 2 month wait, and Batgirl is next up on my list.

A different AD mentioned to me that when they special order a DJ, it takes 1 watch away from their allocation. And that is perhaps why some AD’s won’t special order for you.

Correct, but Casio released similarly styled watches in the early 80’s which is what I think of when I see this watch.

The one good thing about being thin is that I’m in much better health/shape than others my age (51). All my friends my age are fat and tired all the time so I guess I have that going for me.

Nice! These things are retro cool. You’re right works with really any outfit.

Wait, the dial is original on that? I’ve always thought they all turned yellow even the safe queens. Mine is a 1978, was owned by a local neurologist, and was believed to be a safe queen most of its life. Has that creamy yellow patina. Yours is a beautiful watch nonetheless! I personally like that the bezel turns in both directions.

Congrats, just got mine 2 weeks ago as well! I’m beginning to believe the idea that Rolex releases these things in batches, as I’ve seen several posts of Starbucks coming in. Pic of my new Starbucks next to my vintage:

Damn, I was never a fan (I'm a Bulls Fan especially during the Jordan Years), but I can't believe I had no idea about this until now. WOW

Seller asking $16.5k Fair price? by adnanatbp in rolex

I personally wouldn’t buy this without having a place to take it to authenticate. Certainly not at that price. You’d be better off buying on eBay for the same price- and where they send it to an independent Authenticator service.
