      get a 124060 grey if you really cannot wait, and wear it as much as you can. after a few weeks youll realize its just a watch, and it might save you from paying more money over retail on other watches with higher markups.

    A bit misleading here… you don’t need to spend £100k to get a £9k watch. You simply have to buy the stuff that ADs make the most margin on. Steel Rolex = low margin as they are easy sells. Gold Rolex = high margin as they are hard sells. Jewellery = high margin other watch brands = high margin as they are also hard sells. Don’t be a wally paying £8k over list, unless you want to lose £4k when you walk out the door. 😂
    Wait for the watch (all the excitement is in the wait), don’t buy as an investment, and always buy at retail. 👌🏻

    Hey Charlie keep up the great work. I was offered a two tone Daytona from my AD - I knocked it back (not the one I wanted), BUT 6 months later my full White Gold Daytona arrived (116509).
    It was the second Rolex I brought - the first a two tone Sea dweller. Still own both of them. I was a bit nervous saying no to a Daytona, but it turned out to be the right decision.
    Also just picked up a 31mm OP with Tiffany dial for my wife a couple of months ago (waited 12 months) - I don't buy anything I don't want. Love your market info....

    Hey really enjoy your videos. I guess i was lucky. About 2 years ago i asked my ad to buy a rootbeer and she said 1 year or so and almost 1 year later it came and bought it. Then 5 months ago i was turning 50 and wanted another one being a lefty i wanted the sprite i ordered and it came after 3 months. I dont flip or sell any of my watches. Maybe they know that or maybe just lucky. If rolex ever made a daytona ss with blue face i would want it but dont really like any other ones in the current catalog to be honest.

    Sorry I don't totally agree. Last year I bought the Oyster Sprite at one Caribbean AD in March on Vacation then a few weeks later my regular Caribbean AD from a different island called to say the Panda Daytona I requested arrived. I had no history but a connection with the Sprite AD and a very good relationship with the regular Caribbean AD. I would consider them friends but I haven't spent hundreds of thousands there. In November my local Canadian AD offered me the new model Ghost which I love. Overall a great year for adding to my collection. I would never sell any and wear them all rotating with the other Rolexes in my collection. Funny enough the one I am having a hard time acquiring is the Blue Sky Dweller but I believe this is the year! Love your channel. Thanks

      True, but if you’re going to buy a stainless steel model on the grey for 25-28k usd you might as well ask your ad to get you the gold model. At least here in the Miami ,Fort Lauderdale , west palm beach area the yellow gold models are obtainable with a decent spend history. My brother got one on his 5th purchase with his forth purchase being a Longines watch. In my opinion , if you can find an ad that sales multiple brands . Go that route

    "Trust me, Go straight to the gray..." 😂
    Yeah no thanks, had a really good natural progression of watches from the Rolex Boutique that I actually wanted. Starbucks > Batgirl > Blue Dial Skydweller over a 3 yr time span all at retail. (watches from other brands bought as well but from different dealers).
    Just repeat visits, fun discussions, and showed up enough wearing what I bought to build confidence I wasn't a watch flipper.
    To be fair, If you only want a Daytona, Pepsi or a Skydweller and nothing else ever, then you're probably out of luck and he's right...short of being the nephew of the store owner you likely aren't getting any of those without a good spend history and confidence that you aren't going to flip it (they get penalized as a store when something Rolex has distributed to them ends up on the gray market...that typically translates as fewer sports model allocations annually.)

    So my AD still had the Panda as the most ungettable watch, however... she said the list is now open again! Although said it's pretty much only celebs and VIPs who get it. She's never had one come in. But she does get the odd Pepsi, albeit only 1 last year which went to my mate and that's the only watch he managed to get last year.
    I'm glad the OP 41 Celebration didn't appear in this video, that's the one I really want. My AD said she's seen 4 come in so far so it is possible. Just hope it's not discontinued this week.
