    I saw that earlier. It seems an odd move for Rolex to buy a multi-brand retailer, and I wonder how it's going to play out long term.

      It would be interesting to see a shift from ADs to direct to consumer sales in the coming years.

      Think it, be it.

        Yes, maybe they're getting tired of the AD's shenanigans. I wouldn't mind a more transparent set up tbh.

          @mclaincausey I hope not, I enjoy the experience of buying a watch in person. I especially like it if I can haggle out a deal 😀

                              Asked after this a while back and received an unexpected call two weeks ago. Hasn’t left my wrist since.

                                  How long did it take? I put my name down for it too. Best "true" GMT to be had, IMHO, with other Rolex also very good.

                                      @JDelage actually was late 2021 but, after one follow-up in early 2022, I sort of forgot about it and moved on. So when the AD emailed and asked if I was still interested maybe a month ago, I said sure, and then about a week later was told they had one reserved for me.

                                      Moral of the story is apparently to not care too deeply and then maybe it will show up. 😂

                                        @Manticore lovely pick up, congratulations. I still regret selling mine. I was interested in the Tudor Black Bay version until I had the watch in hand, the Tudor cases are very slab sided and bulky. Rolex definitely have kept the better case designs to themselves.

                                        There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                          The Rolex GMTs are some of the thinnest travel GMTs available. The Explorer II is 12.5mm thick, whereas the Grand Seiko equivalents (SBGE285) is 13.9mm. That makes a real difference on the wrist.
