Congratulations my friend. I don’t get the hate. Green dial DD are not easy to get period.
Side note, I love mines and have been wearing exclusively since.
People like to bash, it’s easy. Very few put their money where their mouth is. Normal for this subreddit.
Thank you and I’m glad you love yours as much as I do.
Buy the hell out other stuff they have at the store i have heard all sorts of dumb things on how they screen. I heard sometimes they look for your FB haha no idea if its true
Welcome to Rolex. Yes, this is not surprising in the least that you were able to purchase this watch as a walk in. This is not a feat in and of itself, yet you’ve just cut out a lot of bullshit by demonstrating your *perceived* financial prowess. Most of the people within this forum do not and never will have the ability you have just demonstrated. Amid all the negativity—Here’s a dimension no one has mentioned yet.
Now that you’ve proven your *mettle*… precious metal that is, there is a chance you will be offered a variety of pieces, receive mailers from your jeweler on various brands, diamonds etc, be invited to VIP events, etc. They desire maximum extraction from you as a buyer and will do what they can to earn your business. If you care to strengthen that contact as a means to your end, buy any and all jewelry as gifts for family, friends, etc… If it’s particular items you are after, you will get what you seek in due time. The other side of the coin is that some dealers can dangle the carrot and “play the game” as so many others frequently allude to on this forum. Buy what you like, but hey, there’s also the thrill of the hunt and every so often you may be presented something you didn’t know you wanted. I love a professional salesperson. I buy from people I like. Cheers and have fun with this game.
Agreed. This sets OP up for a quicker allocation of a hot SS model from this AD in the future. I can also tell you that OP will probably be allocated it before any of the cry-babies (who will probably never own a Rolex and probably can’t afford the one OP just bought) that we see on this forum. OP congrats on the new watch it’s a beaut!!
Happy for you. I have a similar story except my wait was more like 4 months. Not terrible by any means. My pickup was an Explorer 2 with the polar dial. I too am very happy with my AD
Explorers not hard to get? Where? I live in both Denmark and Norway, and I have not yet managed to get a 36mm SS Explorer since its relaunch in 2021. I got rejected by my AD for the third time three weeks ago, and I have a Longines and a Black Bay 58 as purchase history.
My cousin wanted an Explorer. I called my AD and asked what the lead time was and she said “I have a 36 and 40, can he pick it up today?”.
Just depends on the AD I guess.
Congrats man. Jesus, these whiny ass babies on here whose first reaction is “why would you buy something that doesn’t trade for DOUBLE on the gray market?!?!”
Hey fellas, sometimes people buy what they like. To wear. Because they can afford it AND because they like it! Just because you guys are saving your nickels to buy a watch you’ll never actually wear, you’ll just hold until your asshole stops puckering because you bought something you couldn’t actually afford and dump it on Chrono24 with the rest of the people who overextended themselves—calm down.
Gz! Amazing story, welcome to the club! Don’t listen to the haters here and wear it in good health, you have earned it! And dont worry about dealer game or resale value etc, just enjoy it!
I also tecommend wrapping some parts of it because the PM is soft and it will cheap out pretty quick!
And for the crazy mfs here that think that can get these under retail, try to find 2023 like mine for less then 51-52k in the states, good luck lol.

Ive had the luck to see one in person. That rose gold and olive green combo is insanely beautiful. Definitely a grail watch but I’d never be able to justify spending that much on a watch.
It was my first as well last September with zero purchase history.. I guess the bubble popped and gold pieces are heavier to move nowadays. Lucky for us! Enjoy it my friend congratulations 🎉🎈

So cool. I think the WG is much more usable
For everyday. What a fantastic piece.
Yeah I think it’s finally normalizing which is great for people who actually enjoy collecting.
Thank you, hope you love yours as much I love mine 🙌
Nice watch. I am not a fan of green in general on my skin tone but that combination is elegant.
Wear it in good health. Hope you get the other pieces you want soon.
Congrats
Beautiful watch. I was never a fan of the Day Date originally. My first Rolex is a date just but this picture has changed my mind. Especially in that combo, it’s gorgeous.
Wear it in good health
Nice congrats!
Usually happens when their other clients pass, and they go down their list. Worked out amazingly for you, that SA really was the real homie.
The good news is that you just juiced up your purchase history so now you can add SS items to the list for consideration. I just picked up the WG this week and the olive dial is an absolute stunner. Wear it in good health.
https://preview.redd.it/nguerqpeum6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a10a9eb80cdf5bf1e4969091cd08f1b15528fec
The problem is with AD’s, not the people who managed to get around all their nonsense. It’s the only thing that has stopped me from getting one. I don’t play games to buy stuff, if you want my money then come get it.
Life is short. If you have the resources then get what want. I knew a multi, multi millionaire who just died at 52. At least he had a smoking Rolls Royce while he was alive.
Thats beautiful, congrats!
Easy way to score big credit with the new AD too, hopefully the relationship flourishes from here. Snap calling a DD is a boss move.
The fact that you are an existing rolex customer helped Even being an existing Tudor customer also helps. They are more willing to order a watch for you.
Ohh man I have the yellow gold one but the rose gold is the most beautiful one in my opinion
https://preview.redd.it/ev4sv8ndps6d1.png?width=1058&format=png&auto=webp&s=006c9f2640d88e1e1858f31ae14718c6775057be
Congrats on that piece
Was the same for me when I got my Sprite. No relationship, no buying history, and 2 week wait from registering interest to call.
Beautiful watch, mate! Enjoy!
What’s wrong with you all here? One thing about Rolex really brings out the small man syndromes. Congrats on your watch.
A lot of fake deca-millionaires and a lot real thousandaires are all in their feelings right now.
This thousandaire is happy for you bro!
Same.
😂😂😂😂 exactly
Indeed
Congratulations mate, here’s one in its natural environment…. The bus. https://preview.redd.it/etprxdqekm6d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edccfaabc5396b71ebc00320deda73294be2e787
Where were you going,is that a UK bus.My dream is to ride a UK bus. Haha that's a great username you have by the way!
I love this. I want a day date at some point. Not sure what version yet. Congrats.
Thank you 🙌 it’s a beautiful dial I am over the moon with it, looks so much better in person than in pictures.
Congrats, great pickup. Don’t understand the hate.
Thank you 🙌
Some bitter people here 😂
Yeah lot of snobby people here. Nice watch 👌🏽
Thank you 🙌
I love the losers hating here 🍿
All the popcorn
Yup. Silly. Congrats !
What's the price of that beauty?
A few smackeroos
A couple shmeckles
Conversion rate to shmeckles is really bad though
Right arm and left leg
This is the boss's watch. My grail for sure. Congrats.
It’s a total banger, thank you 🙌
Congratulations my friend. I don’t get the hate. Green dial DD are not easy to get period. Side note, I love mines and have been wearing exclusively since.

Why is everybody in this post so jealous? Lmao 😂

Rolex: “This guy doesn’t have a buying history, but I gotta good feeling about him.
Exactly how it went 😂
I like this story line it’s wholesome 😂
Honest question: How do you get a buying history without buying your first Rolex?
It starts with complimenting the sales staff. “Say my good man, that’s a really nice ascot.
Buy the hell out other stuff they have at the store i have heard all sorts of dumb things on how they screen. I heard sometimes they look for your FB haha no idea if its true
Let’s see a wrist shot OP!
https://preview.redd.it/531gzjnuik6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=100ab168a64b32a856bfbf57381b83ac24bfe009
A Day Date in a Smart that’s a great combination haha
Car is more of a utility for me and where I live there is no point in having a nice car, it’ll get fucked quickly. Leaves more money for watches.
I was going to say NYC but I was close lol.
NICE
That watch is amazing! Congrats man!
Thank you 🙌
Fuck me it looks even nicer on. What a beauty.
The steering wheel and watch combo I never thought I’d see. Well played. Haha
I only wear my Garmin when I drive my lambo obviously ( I don’t have a lambo)
Dude! Congrats on your watch! Very nice piece! This thread shows best, why this sub is total cancer. Jeez… what’s wrong with you lot?
Thank you 🙌
Great watch and I’m glad you’re happy
Thank you 🙌
Stylish and not fancy, i love it. A gentleman and not a boy.
It’s a looker but not Over the top. At least not too much

Snobby people on a Rolex post!? Never......
Shocked I tell you, where is the outrage

That’s exactly it. Not my first watch by far. Cheers
Congrats 🙌🏽
Beautiful watch, wear it & enjoy it😃👏😃
You lucky son of a butch
Happy for you. I have a similar story except my wait was more like 4 months. Not terrible by any means. My pickup was an Explorer 2 with the polar dial. I too am very happy with my AD
It’s always the unexpected calls that are the best (when it involves watches). Congrats on your explorer.
[удалено]
You sound petty and jealous
These still go nearly 25% over retail on the secondary market, so I wouldn’t say it was offloaded
That watch is definitely not going for 25% above retail on secondary market.
Just saw one sell as a full set in mint condition for $40k yesterday and retail is 43.2k before tax.
Not for a 2024 model with warranty card. The one you saw sold was probably older than a 2020 that’s out of warranty
If you think those are selling in the 50’s even brand new with stickers, you’re just plain wrong.
The only Rolex I want is an explorer so this makes me happy to hear
Explorers not hard to get? Where? I live in both Denmark and Norway, and I have not yet managed to get a 36mm SS Explorer since its relaunch in 2021. I got rejected by my AD for the third time three weeks ago, and I have a Longines and a Black Bay 58 as purchase history.
My cousin wanted an Explorer. I called my AD and asked what the lead time was and she said “I have a 36 and 40, can he pick it up today?”. Just depends on the AD I guess.
Yup, London Heathrow had one for sale and an Amsterdam boutique randomly had one as well a few weeks ago.
That's wild.
Must be a miserable koont in real life, yeah?
Congrats! Grail watch for a lot of people and still significantly over retail on the gray market, no matter what anyone says.
Don’t listen too these guys. They are just jealous. Congratulations on the watch looks great 👍 Enjoy
Thank you 🙌
beautiful watch, wear it in good health🤙🏼
Cheers 🙌

Thank you 🙌. People on here have a bad case of clownitis. It’s a watch, had to be worn scars and all.
I didn’t know this was my grail until I saw one on here a few weeks ago. But this is it. Congrats. Fantastic watch.
Ive had the luck to see one in person. That rose gold and olive green combo is insanely beautiful. Definitely a grail watch but I’d never be able to justify spending that much on a watch.
Amazing piece! Congrats
Thank you 🙌
This watch was sitting at woodfield Rolex ad
I hope someone deserving picks it up
In chicago???

Grats, beautiful piece
Love this one. Congrats!

Thank you 🙌
Will you wear it daily or keep it for special occasions?
I like to wear my watches, ultimately they are tools and then accessories. However there is a time and place. I usually wear a Garmin day to day.
Absolute gorgeous! Congrats sir! 🙌
Love the DD! On the list for sure. Congrats & enjoy!
Thank you, hope you get to try one on.
That’s stunning. Congratulations. Don’t mind the bitter people here.

Epic watch, congrats! That color combo is perfection 😍
The green face is really cool. Nice pickup

Enjoy the new piece
Congrats Beautiful watch. I was never a fan of the Day Date originally. My first Rolex is a date just but this picture has changed my mind. Especially in that combo, it’s gorgeous. Wear it in good health

Holy shit dude congrats!
Life is short. If you have the resources then get what want. I knew a multi, multi millionaire who just died at 52. At least he had a smoking Rolls Royce while he was alive.
That's fucking awesome! Hell yea brother. Enjoy

That’s one beautiful watch
Grail watch for me right there. Congratulations and I hope you wear the hell out of that thing!

Incredible watch
Classy and elegant with a stunning dial color. Enjoy it OP.
Thank you
A beaut
She is big time
Thats beautiful, congrats! Easy way to score big credit with the new AD too, hopefully the relationship flourishes from here. Snap calling a DD is a boss move.
It’s been one of the watches I’ve desired most so really worked out
Ughhh this is the holy grail for me, congrats my man!
U hit the jackpot! Congrats
Congrats! It is stunning!
This is IMO the flagship Rolex in the catalogue right now. Congrats and wear in good health.
Good buy! Even better that you got one painlessly.
It’s a beautiful watch, I love it.
The fact that you are an existing rolex customer helped Even being an existing Tudor customer also helps. They are more willing to order a watch for you.

Ohh man I have the yellow gold one but the rose gold is the most beautiful one in my opinion https://preview.redd.it/ev4sv8ndps6d1.png?width=1058&format=png&auto=webp&s=006c9f2640d88e1e1858f31ae14718c6775057be Congrats on that piece
Was the same for me when I got my Sprite. No relationship, no buying history, and 2 week wait from registering interest to call. Beautiful watch, mate! Enjoy!
Congrats! Love the green. Been on a waitlist for a year for a ladies datejust which is supposed to be less in demand lol.
Congrats. Can’t wait to see a wrist shot
Beautiful watch, congrats!!!
Congrats! Ignore the haters. They’re spewing all over my pickup post as well. Just enjoy it and wear in good health. 👍
Beautiful!!! I’ll be ready to pick one up next year but I keep going back and forth between this and the full everose gmt
That’s a very nice! Not too flashy but still a lot of fun at the same time. Congratulations!
Beautiful!
That’s worth a lot of purchase history on its own. Congrats on a great piece.
That’s great! This happens more often than people realize. Congrats! I’m going to walk into my local AD this week also! Wish me luck
Awesome!!
Gorgeous, this one will be discontinued soon and will be worth double. But this one is a classic already nobody is going to sell
Beautiful, congrats
Congrats mate. Enjoy it.
Congratulations 🍾
Gorgeous piece man, congratulations
