Very late to the party re this post. I too have put my name down for a 124270 about 4 weeks ago at my local AD in Melbourne Australia. It’s the only Rolex I want and I’m longing for the day that phone call arrives. Your story certainly raised my hope slightly. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait for the day I get to write about my experience with the 124270 in this forum. 

Thank you. Will check it out. Hope they ship to Australia :)

I too love my 143. May I please ask what mesh bracelet you have on yours? Thank you
