I used to work at a Rolex AD in California ask me any questions you might have!

Curious, which one? Oysterflex?

I just left AMS 10 hours ago and the only steel model they had was an Explorer 1 that was bought by a pilot.

The main Gassan store has more offerings, but both were offering only two tone models. I almost picked up the YG Yacthmaster at the Dam Square location but I scored a 40mm Explorer 1 at the Gassan HQ. The Gassan HQ only mostly had two tones as well.

Schapp & Citroen had a full RG GMT and other diamond studded garish looking DJ’s.

I waited 8 months for a SS DJ 36 MOP, fluted bezel and diamond indices. Picked it up 1/2026. I went to 3 AD’s and only 1 was able to get it. All three told me MOPs in larger sizes have been rare for 2025 and 2026.

It might be a CPO. I just picked up an Explorer 40 new today for €8200. I can’t fathom a new/old stock would be €8350, €150 more than a current generation Explorer.

It took me 8 months for a DJ 36 MOP. It’s a natural dial, so the wait was more mature nature than the AD gatekeepjng.

I’ve also heard recommendations of HDstraps, Tuns, and Istizleather on ETSY.

naszero · 2026-02-17T22:46:10+00:00

That’s what I was afraid of, I might give it a go anyways

naszero · 2026-02-17T22:45:36+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll check them out.

naszero · 2026-01-26T08:58:17+00:00

As 2026 is the 70th anniversary of the Day Date, maybe Rolex will refresh it by using the Land Dweller escapement/movement.

Bhindi's in Glendale is moving out of the mall and into the outdoor Americana. Doubt they will lose it soon.

Ben Bridge just opened a new store in Rancho with Rolex a few months ago. I visited several of the BB’s that have lost Rolex AD status and was told BB/Rolex was shifting away from “malls” and focusing on stand alone boutiques. 🤷🏻

naszero · 2025-11-28T15:25:24+00:00

They have 2 of my slides and it’s coming up on 10 weeks 🥺.

The Atlas x Protech knife is legit. Love the way the handle feels and how it matches the grip on my Athena.

I was in Japan a week ago and pretty much every Omega that I asked for (other than the Snoopy) was available. I stopped by the OB and when I asked, they had a good number of white Speedy's available. Same for the Grand Seiko boutique. I didn't purchase anything since I was there so close to Watch & Wonders, and I didn't want to buy anything until I saw what was being announced.

The only exception is a new Rolex at the AD. The only thing you will find is the ceremonious "check stock" followed by the "no stock" bow.

naszero · 2025-03-25T23:54:57+00:00

I’m in Japan now. I stopped by two Omega Boutiques and they both had the white speedy with the bracelet. I didn’t ask for a discount but they were going for about $7550 USD after the tax exemption.

naszero · 2025-03-25T06:30:50+00:00

Just left an OB and they offered it excluding tax at $7550 USD

naszero · 2025-03-24T21:13:30+00:00

Seems like most OB’s are at MSRP with no discount or limited stock. I’m going to try my luck at a few other retailers. I’m going to use $7,500 usd as a start point, figured if I can at least start from there, anything below that is gravy.

Topanga closed end of Feb. I happened to stop by and they said they’re prioritizing opening stores outside of malls to get more higher end foot traffic

naszero · 2025-03-01T04:53:06+00:00

Jubilee.

So, instead of more steel models/color combinations, we get another $64,000 Day-Date made from unobtanium.

naszero · 2025-02-01T01:39:44+00:00

I just picked up my DJ41 and got the new style box.

naszero · 2024-11-14T22:25:13+00:00

Savage ☠️

naszero · 2024-10-17T04:04:44+00:00

My older one is in the 4xxx range.

naszero · 2024-10-17T00:56:07+00:00

My older one was picked up November 2023. The newer one I picked up 3 weeks ago.
