Platinum Daytona is pretty obtainable. I did not have to wait long for one. Not many people out there willing to spend $75-80k on a watch (AD prices). It's the stainless models which are actually more difficult to get from an AD. Then of course the off catalog pieces like the Rainbow, which go to VIPs only... I have one
The Le Mans Daytonas were already issued to people Rolex had in mind at release. They have since decided to resell theirs for as high as $400,000 when they were first released, and now settling around $200,000 in the grey market.

Le Mans is not LE. I have been on the AD list in Berlin since June 11th. In Germany it currently costs €52,500 including tax.
The Snoopy I ordered will certainly arrive sooner. |

The initial 100 were, especially the first 2. They are producing them for the masses but different serial #.

Wearing one of my dad’s watches today. Not really my style as it’s a bit of an old man watch lol, but I must say I really like the way the 36mm fits my smaller wrist more so than the 41mm I usually wear.

I've had my Daytona Cosmograph since 1973. Wore it to work regularly in my career from the late 70's to early 90's. Pretty much stopped after the Rolex Brand got popularized in music videos. Was also told after my last servicing, that oem parts were very hard to find for this model. Then, was offered cash and a trade, so that could have just been an attempt to make me fall for their deal. Will likely pass it along to my son.

It's actually a 1967 Rolex Daytona, Ref. 6239. Got it during my Military Assignment in Germany. Was there as one of the last Lottery Draftees of 72-73. With the exception of the 73 Oil Embargo, it was a great Tour of Duty.

As a reminder, Watches and Wonders in Geneva is April 9-15 (13-15 for public viewing) this year.
I'm paying attention, as I'm very interested to see if The Crown will come out with a white-faced Explorer. After I was Grounded last July, I told my AD that if and when I got my FAA Medical back, I was going to order a 40mm Explorer from her (and have a black perforated strap w/ red stitching made for it-- I've seen one and it's *stunning*). It would be my "I survived something that should have killed me" watch. I just got the results from my final medical testing back and both of my cardiologists (electrophysiologist and interventional) think that there's no reason for me to not fly again. I'll submit my package to the FAA in about ten days and then have to wait six months for the FAA to make a decision. I told my AD to expect to see me in October to pick up my Explorer. However, if a white-face Explorer comes out, that'll change my request as I already have a black faced Sub and Air King. R.

Rolex introduced a new GMT Master II model with gray / black bezel one both available with Oyster or Jubilee band as well .
I think that's the only novelty I would be interested in Rolex

I have my GMT Master II LN (the full black bezel). I do like the new release with the black/grey, but would never switch my LN out for it!

Sadly, no white-faced Explorer. I was really hoping that rumor panned out as I thought it would have been a great look and would have offered symmetry with the white-faced Explorer II.
Oh well, there's always next year. R.

No new Milgauss, either; which I'm secretly happy about since I purchased the now discontinued model right before W&W last year right before its was discontinued!

I have had a Datejust 41 for a few years and over time found it wore too large on my relatively thin wrist. I decided to swap it out for a Datejust 36 which I absolutely love. Went from oyster bracelet/smooth bezel to jubilee/fluted as well and really enjoying the look.

Got a call from my AD yesterday afternoon that she'd gotten her hands on a "unicorn" watch for my wife: a 31 Oyster Perpetual Celebration.
Ever since Rolex released the Celebration last year, my wife has been *lusting* after it. We'd placed a "just for fun" order with our AD on the very long-shot chance of her ever getting one in. And, she did. And she called us yesterday. So, we went down to the AD last night and took a look. My wife had been wanting the 36, but after comparing an OP36 on her wrist, the 31 just fit her better. (and since she already has a green OP31, I wasn't quite sure why this was even an issue, but she *is* a girl). She fell in love with it and wore it to work today. I think it's a fun watch, but maybe a little busy for my personal tastes-- at least in the 31 size. My wife however? May never take it off. She was mumbling about wearing it to Paris next month (we're flying over with a two other couples to see Taylor Swift and go to Giverny and Champagne), but I nipped that in the bud. This would be.... a tough one to replace if she lost it or it got stolen. The prices on the secondary market are sort of stupid. R.
