How does approval process usually work with rolex ADs? I have a purchase history with a current AD and been on a waitlist for a while. Got a msg saying they have one in system and waiting to get approval to sell me one, but no promises. Does this mean I am likely to get one soon?

It is truly insane that it has come to this with Rolex. These things aren’t country club memberships. People should buy other stuff.

Ah gotcha. Thank you for the input. Ive been waiting on a gmt for a while and was excited to get a txt yesterday from my AD salesperson out of the blue. Skeptical it will lead to an official offer but keeping my fingers crossed.

Sounds like you’re near the top of their list! Pepsi or Batman?

That sounds like an internal approval (within the AD - likely to ensure that high spending customers are taken care of before normal plebs who just want to buy a $10k watch). There’s no formal process between dealers and Rolex.

Oh really? Its for the Batman or they call it batgirl now.

Good move on the text. I think the batgirl is a dumb nickname - I’m guessing the only people who call it that are people who have the old model and wish they had the new movement.

I have a 116710LN and love it. Hopefully you get the good news soon!

Didnt even know they updated the gmt recently, good to know tho! Appreciate the insights and feeling more hopeful than before. I thought the initial msg was a clickbait to get me in the store to purchase another model.

Bummer, just got a call that I wasn’t approved for one! The wait continues

Yeah dumb. Buy a Tudor BB GMT and you get the same heritage and style

Today I won a raffle for an Omega SMP 300. To show my appreciation to the watch gods, I am letting my current diver, the legendary SKX009 go for the same price as my raffle ticket ($38, shipping included). If anyone is looking for this hugely popular piece (ideally a new collector), hit me up! Currently sized to a 6.75” wrist but comes with all links. All hail the watch gods!

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?
