A great story for a great acquisition! Rolex does indeed sell about 1 Million (!) watches a year, and it's just great when they go to well-deserving collectors like in your instance! :-) Time to enjoy this beauty thoroughly now! ;-)
Incoming! 45 minutes after request - no joke!
I just return from a short vacation in Chicago. Now, it's been several months since I've walked into a Rolex Boutique. I haven't even veered over to the Rolex section of any ADs that I have visited during this time. In fact, I had no intentions of visitin...
Omg....that's unreal and what an experience and encounter!
I think "never give up" is the right approach and there are still nice people around which is good to know. Looks like I need to check in with Rolex stores more often, lol....but I did hear stores of successful walk-ins recently. Big Congrats and enjoy!
I am truly ecstatic for you!!!
A story only magical to the ears of a purist! It has to be fate I think, and this YM iteration is stunning!!! Huge congratulations!
What a great…
story, sometimes it better to be lucky than good. I bought that same Rolex two years ago, you will love owning it. It’s beautiful and accurate!
Absolutely! I really haven’t paid that much attention to the Yacht-Master.
I saw a pre-owned 116622 last summer and was surprised by just how much I really like it!
What a great moment
Glad you were able to acquire this. I've always thought this is a top reference with its beautiful dial. I'm not sure we will be able to walk into dealers and get a watch but I do think overall issues with inflation and equities being what they are we wil...
Thanks, Kevin! Hopefully, the boutiques and the ADs have . . .
Developer some lessons learned over these last crazy years to identify those individuals that truly want to own and wear these pieces! But it may be wishful thinking! I’m just fortunate to have acquirer my YM40!
Thanks, Nico! What are you trying to do?
I’m already addicted to watches! Now, you want me to develop a new addiction - gambling!😂🤣😂
Congrats
Beautiful watch. I was told by my contact at the SF AD that they are now required to allocate certain in--demand models for "walk-in" customers. Good luck folks 😊
As a Rolex fan, hearing these stories makes me feel better
Congratulations! I'm most likely going to add the rhodium dial version as my next watch...
Thanks, Andrea! The rhodium dial YM40 is also quite stunning!
Hopefully, you will not have any difficulties acquiring that beauty!🤞
Just a matter of timing …
My absolute favorite! And a truly nice story about your spontaneous acquisition. Sometimes you just have to be at the right place at the right time. Lucky guy ;-))
Thanks, Yacomino! I can’t believe I’ve ignored . . .
The Yacht-Master for as long as i did. But once I saw this pre-owner piece, it hasn’t stopped tugging at my heart! ...
