its just a watch, just wait to get at retail and keep saving. you should not be begging for a company to take your hard earned money.

get a 124060 grey if you really cannot wait, and wear it as much as you can. after a few weeks youll realize its just a watch, and it might save you from paying more money over retail on other watches with higher markups.

No, after producing it for 70y since the 6542 They arent that dumb to discontinue one of the hottest piece. The rumor is made by grey dealer who stucked with tons of pepsi

Same with Toyota. They produce 10 million vehicles a year, yet there was a sudden production issue, and now there is still a waiting list of more than a year for some of the most popular cars like RAV4.

[@Harvey91]

A bit misleading here… you don’t need to spend £100k to get a £9k watch. You simply have to buy the stuff that ADs make the most margin on. Steel Rolex = low margin as they are easy sells. Gold Rolex = high margin as they are hard sells. Jewellery = high margin other watch brands = high margin as they are also hard sells. Don’t be a wally paying £8k over list, unless you want to lose £4k when you walk out the door. 😂 Wait for the watch (all the excitement is in the wait), don’t buy as an investment, and always buy at retail. 👌🏻

Hey Charlie keep up the great work. I was offered a two tone Daytona from my AD - I knocked it back (not the one I wanted), BUT 6 months later my full White Gold Daytona arrived (116509). It was the second Rolex I brought - the first a two tone Sea dweller. Still own both of them. I was a bit nervous saying no to a Daytona, but it turned out to be the right decision. Also just picked up a 31mm OP with Tiffany dial for my wife a couple of months ago (waited 12 months) - I don't buy anything I don't want. Love your market info....

Hey really enjoy your videos. I guess i was lucky. About 2 years ago i asked my ad to buy a rootbeer and she said 1 year or so and almost 1 year later it came and bought it. Then 5 months ago i was turning 50 and wanted another one being a lefty i wanted the sprite i ordered and it came after 3 months. I dont flip or sell any of my watches. Maybe they know that or maybe just lucky. If rolex ever made a daytona ss with blue face i would want it but dont really like any other ones in the current catalog to be honest.

[@aaronclarke919]

True, but if you’re going to buy a stainless steel model on the grey for 25-28k usd you might as well ask your ad to get you the gold model. At least here in the Miami ,Fort Lauderdale , west palm beach area the yellow gold models are obtainable with a decent spend history. My brother got one on his 5th purchase with his forth purchase being a Longines watch. In my opinion , if you can find an ad that sales multiple brands . Go that route

Sorry I don't totally agree. Last year I bought the Oyster Sprite at one Caribbean AD in March on Vacation then a few weeks later my regular Caribbean AD from a different island called to say the Panda Daytona I requested arrived. I had no history but a connection with the Sprite AD and a very good relationship with the regular Caribbean AD. I would consider them friends but I haven't spent hundreds of thousands there. In November my local Canadian AD offered me the new model Ghost which I love. Overall a great year for adding to my collection. I would never sell any and wear them all rotating with the other Rolexes in my collection. Funny enough the one I am having a hard time acquiring is the Blue Sky Dweller but I believe this is the year! Love your channel. Thanks

"Trust me, Go straight to the gray..." 😂 Yeah no thanks, had a really good natural progression of watches from the Rolex Boutique that I actually wanted. Starbucks > Batgirl > Blue Dial Skydweller over a 3 yr time span all at retail. (watches from other brands bought as well but from different dealers). Just repeat visits, fun discussions, and showed up enough wearing what I bought to build confidence I wasn't a watch flipper. To be fair, If you only want a Daytona, Pepsi or a Skydweller and nothing else ever, then you're probably out of luck and he's right...short of being the nephew of the store owner you likely aren't getting any of those without a good spend history and confidence that you aren't going to flip it (they get penalized as a store when something Rolex has distributed to them ends up on the gray market...that typically translates as fewer sports model allocations annually.)

Will be exciting to see what they come up with this week! 🙌 thanks for watching mate 👌🏻

[@n1ggo892]

Just got the new panda daytona 🎉

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

Congratulations mate, such a stunning model - enjoy it! 🙌

[@danlin8310]

ADealers are getting greedier in 2024, trying to clear inventory, blatantly bundling each popular Rolex with a few pieces other brand watches that they cannot sell in this poor retail environment.

[@m.e.p.r]

Things are starting to cool off though. Cambridge Mappin & Webb have a Bat Girl in the Window for sale. That would never have happened 12mths ago. Its all starting to slow down, as the second hand and grey market continues to cool off

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

Oh wow, thats a really sought after piece to have sat in the window! 😮

[@Coolguy24686]

It’s exhibition only. Don’t be mistaken.

[@nicholasperno5293]

What about Batman w/ jubilee?

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

It is a very difficult model to get yes 👍

[@lirahs7763]

It’s a buyers’ market. Sooner or later, all these watches would be closer to retail prices.

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

Could very well do 👌

[@bo55ola]

I also hope I prove you wrong with a VTNR….😂

[@Patekcollector5205]

I bought so much stuff by my AD in munich and aboultly NO Chance to get. I am sooo desperate 😢!! I love the Sprite so much 😊

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

😆🙌

[@bo55ola]

@@Patekcollector5205 I am DESPERATE for the BLRO i have a really good spend with me AD in London . I’m going to email me dealer until they give me a watch to get me off their back!

[@gavinsverdloff4291]

For 54 years I’ve purchased gold, & look where it is now, yes an all time high. If you’ve never worn gold ⌚️you need to check it out. Oh & I don’t drive a Tesla, I prefer the 1930s look 👀🙏

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

Gold is doing really well at the moment isn’t it 👌🏻

[@EdmondGilmore]

If you all stop buying these watches, in one year, the rolex boutique will beg you to buy in discounts

[@Esper320]

Get a VSF sub, understood.

[@mesamei]

Rolex HQ have to sign off on a stainless Daytona 😂😂😂

[@ThriftyCHNR]

LOL that was a good one

[@1bobola]

I got a stainless Daytona from WOS, no spend history, but complicated!

[@theadventuresofwolf5.77]

The great pepsi gmt hoax. Not getting discontinued

[@nicolayrulov5566]

Super 👍🏻

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

Thank you 👍

[@starwatcher73]

it’s all about purchase history from AD. The start is the hardest part though. Dj 36 will do it, for your wife

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

Absolutely 👌🏻

[@bigj324]

I've been waiting nearly a year just for a plain datejust. I might as well forget about any hope in obtaining a steel sports model.

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

Hopefully you get the call soon mate, hang in there! 🙏

[@deanwilson7031]

Same mate been a year no call for Date just 41mm.

[@Tommys_hacks]

Got my sprite jubilee 2 months after asking my ad…

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

Congratulations mate, thats some good going! 🙌

[@Ryansrangereport]

Wait, ROLEX has to sign off on Daytonas?

[@BufanMuayThai]

NO.!!!

[@gaffs82]

The new Pepsi is the most overrated watch. The colours are so muted because of the production issues. The 16710 with the aluminium bezel looks far better. The new model should be called the Aston Villa not the Pepsi.

[@thehonestwatchdealer]

Ah yes the classic 16710 is a stunning model, very hard to beat 👌🏻 thanks for watching!

[@Graility]

Yes, die production issues of the bezel are still exist. I‘ve recently compared a 2024 production with my 2021 (should be MKII) I expected that the blue is much dark with less violet tones in it. Actually, the blue is even brighter and more violet. 🙈

[@gaffs82]

@@Graility it’s because they can’t get the lighter blue to cover the red every time. And when they do they are prone to cracking during service. So they have got darker and darker. Rolex cracked my buddy’s from a 2020 Pepsi and replaced it with the new one. It looks like crap and he is fuming.

[@Graility]

@@gaffs82 I expected, but the 2024 is lighter then my 2021, so I‘m very confused. I would prefer a darker blue if it counters the ugly violet tone.
