After 7 years on the waiting list…

I never lost hope. I always maintained a good relationship with my AD and my patience and fortitude were finally rewarded. I remember when I asked to be added to the list and was told that I can select a dial colour preference but in reality I would get w...

Congratulation on your new Daytona

After 7 years on the waiting list…

Love it. 7y is a very very long time. Even as a regular Rolex customer, they wouldn’t put me on the list these days.

I’ve purchased several other watches from the AD and always been in good terms. The first watch was twenty five years ago so there is history too.

7 years… my goodness

Congratulations. Right now I’m waiting for a Skydweller.

Wow! Such patience! The wait was worth it — congratulations!

Thank you and I agree!

Congratulations! Thai makes the watch more appreciated and hopefully loved even more!

A hardy congratulations, first of all.

Yes, seven years… a long time but it is an iconic watch. It probably is a contender for a one watch collection…

I’m curious to know how much the price increased in that time?? Congratulations again.

Now that’s an interesting question, can anyone here help? To be honest I hadn’t kept track of prices and didn’t know what the price would be when I turned up!

Congratulations 🍾 I got my 116500LN white dial in 2017…retail was $12400 USD.

That’s interesting, I think I paid the same in £ in March including tax so not too much of an increase over time. Thank you

In France around 10%.

Only10%... I’m surprised. I ordered a Skydweller in december 2022 and since then the price has increased a 7%. I hope it doesn’t take much longer... Best

Well, from memory, a bit less than 13, 000 Euros, and now 14, 000.

I ordered mine at 18750 and now is at 19950. I hope to get it soon. Otherwise the thing is getting complicated.

£12600 incl tax. Thanks my friend

Close to the french retail, then.

Wow, that makes it look the Daytona is recession proof!

Huge congrats -- and to always see things in perspective, 7 years are not necessarily many for one of the most sough-after Rolexes that *most* collectors will never be allocated! ;-) Enjoy to the fullest my friend!

Thank you so much Fab!

Now that is some gigantic patience. Huge congratulations to you, mon ami.

You are kind my friend, thank you!

Pleasure. Enjoy!!!

Congrats. It is wroth the wait. Enjoy.

It’s a keeper! Thanks Bill

congrats on the watch and the patience!

If you waited that long you really deserve it

It certainly was a long wait!

heartfelt congratulations

Big congratulations!

Thank you Peter, it was worth the wait!

Congratulations

Thank you my friend

Congratulation on your new Daytona

6 years is a long time but it looks good on you and worth your patience!

So waitlist is real after all. Congratulations 🥂🥂🥂

Congratulations 🍾
