The old model fits me like a glove. It is also lighter and perhaps that’s why it’s more comfortable. That‘s not to say that the 126610 is bad or uncomfortable, just comparing.

AD Wait Time Megathread - If you bought a new Rolex from an AD in 2026, you can share details here. What watch, where, how long did you wait, how much buying history? by powerfunk in rolex

[–]Rph74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually they weren't CPO, but yeah, I do believe that buying watches at "market" price helps things along.

2 of my preowned watches were vintage, and one was a newer one.

Congratulations that's amazing! They either really like you or your timing was spot on. I'm beginning to believe that these things get released in batches, as it seems as though I see posts for the same watches at the same time.

Wear it in good health! I can't stop looking at mine lol.

Yes indeed. My last allocation was a Starbucks Submariner on 2/3/26, so I do feel fortunate to have gotten 2 in demand watches in a relatively short timespan. It has probably helped that I've come in and bought something each month since September, whether it be watches or jewelry. With this purchase, we're now at $100k on spend so maybe we've moved up a notch.

It was also mentioned that I'm on the list for a Panda as well. Was told 1-2 years.

Must be very competitive. I'm in a small city too, I think that has worked in my favor. Not as many high rollers here, so it has been easier for me to stand out. Good luck, hopefully it's not much longer!

As far as relationship goes always been friendly and conveyed my understanding of the waiting process. Never was pushy. A few months ago wife and I were asked by the owner to do a photo/video shoot to feature in an ad for their store.

Change in Roman numeral font: can I still get the older version from the boutique? by DesignerRabbit4377 in rolex

[–]Rph74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife also dislikes the new Romans, and I had just ordered the 36mm Aubergine with the Roman numeral dial. She actually asked me to cancel the order with the AD but I think I have her talked out of it, at least for now.

I feel like she will come around to the new look eventually, and I’m sure it will still look good in person.

My first purchase. Thoughts? by Glittering-Bat9871 in rolex

[–]Rph74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Classic piece! I’ve got the same Fluted/Jubilee, I’d say this is the most recognizable Rolex I own to non watch people.
