··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.I get my Rolex serviced there but haven’t bought a new watch from them. I had a nice chat with a lady in their sales department and she told me that there had been a lot of drop outs from their waiting list for the 116610LV. Perhaps due to the new GMT pepsi.

·This is interesting. Prior to purchasing my SMPc, I stopped at an AD to eyeball a 114200... but they had none. Not a single 39mm or 36mm in sight. I guess I now know why.

·I was i Barcelona last week - I have a Daytona on order in the UK and was told last year that there was a 4 yr waiting list. In Barcelona, the Rolex rep informed me its at least DOUBLE that!
She had pleasure in informing me someone in Uruguay managed to get one inside a month! Rolex clearly dipping toes into new markets than servicing existing??!!

When I dipped in at our local watch dealer (lovely, svelte temperature there...) he informed me that they had a 7-year waiting list for steel Daytonas, 10 years for Pepsi GMTs...

·I do like the pepsi, but I'm not sure if I'll still want it when I'm in my 40s.
I've often heard that you are buying a Rolex not just for you, but for your children, too. Never thought that they'd be the first to wear my watch. 10 years to wait for a watch? Glad that I bought a 16700 when I did and for the price that I paid. 😀

·Oh, how times change! I've told this story elsewhere but back in 2006, I still wanted the white dial steel Daytona that was so hard to find and Rolex was doing the same silly stuff they are today. For no good reason, I called Barry Peterson up in Ketchum, ID (I live in Idaho) and asked if they had one. The answer was a quick no but they were being dropped or dropping Rolex and was I interested in a NOS GMT II with the Pepsi bezel? He said because it was unsold and a couple years old (!!) they would make me a very good deal. I asked the price and, delivered with sales tax, just under $2500. Needless to say, I gave them my CC info and the watch was delivered the following day. No funny business and even though the watch was made during the one year warranty period, it was sold when Rolex had begun offering a two year warranty and that's what I got. I also checked with Rolex on the serial number and dealer and they said all was good and that they'd sold the watch to Peterson's.
Back in 1989, when I bought my first Rolex from Merkel's in Sacramento (a 16233), I got the standard 10% off. In 2000, when I bought my 16610, I got no discount but was offered 12 months interest free financing so picking up a 16710 for $2500 new (but a couple years old) was the best deal I think I ever got on anything!

You are confusing the quote. It refers to Patek Phillipe

·The 10 year quote times are their way of saying that many, many people want them and they aren’t getting any in, and that you aren’t getting one. No chance in hell they think you would actually wait 10 years.

I’m baffled here as to what Rolex is doing.

·Logically think that through. Of course some will get it faster as it’s not like they stopped making them for a decade.
