What time is it? Watches and horology

These have just arrived

I do really like the grey dial. What is the case size on these?

Currently in Austin, Texas - being brought over later in the month.

42mm .

Blue one is nice. I was tempted by one a while back but then thought a speedmaster at a similar price may be a better option (and then did nothing).

Any idea when ADs are getting the new Rolex GMT Pepsi?

Later in the year , but is irrelevant. You have more chance of finding a Daytona in stock at a discount than buying one.

I'm on the waiting list at WoS. Apparently I'm in the first 'few', whatever that means.

A friend of mine is "in the first few" also. He lives in Bangkok though, not sure which AD.

Wonder what "first few" actually means.

First 10,000

2 years ? No I really don’t know how they work. I would assume the shipments from Rolex would just go to their head office and then they decide which branches are worthy. Have you actually paid for it? I would if you had paid then that shows your level of commitment and should give you priority over just a name on a list.

Oh and if you just buy it to flip it at a profit don’t ever expect to get another one or anything else from them.

I may 'need' to sell my Rolex GMT Master II to help towards house extension - not sure how much and where to sell and if i should get it serviced first? Boxed with papers and black bezel but also blue red spare somewhere...

Look at chrono24, work out price, pitch it to us.

I asked to pay they said they're taking payment once they have delivery date. It's all very vague.

I can understand that . Just try and be first to pay . We are getting so many enquiries we don’t even add to a list anymore.

Have you bought from that branch before? Hoping to pick one up in Dubai this summer.

No, never.

Are there savings to be had for watches in Dubai or is it just a case of availability? Everyone I talk to says it’s wildly expensive.
I’d still like to know anyone’s thoughts on $ savings at the moment, looking at US sellers on omegaforum and Watchuseek is very tempting.

A bit sad to see a seller who’s just been convinced to re-list at a very low BIN price. Seamaster, boxed with tags for £450. FFS.

Convinced by whom? Also, damn I missed it.

The many sharks of eBay. Lots of dealers. Whenever I sell something, I get non stop questions asking for a buy-it-now price.

Ahh. Lame. Shame too it was way too low I suppose.

Last July I was in Dubai airport, the rolex dealer in duty free had a BLNR, hulk and a couple of subs. The Sub no date was 5.2k gbp and the BLNR was 6.4k, think that was roughly similar to UK RRP at the time.

And... Sold :)
