She’s finally mine!!! Rolex 126720VTNR Destro GMT-Master II

It’s finally mine!!! Introducing the 126720VTNR Rolex Destro GMT-Master II “Sprite”.

I love this little Rolex delivery room.

Image

First step is ask for a glass of champagne 🍾 🥂

Image

Next up they bring out my watch in it’s factory coffin. I was literally the first person to touch my watch.

Image

It’s the little details that make these delivery days so special.

Image

They even let me keep the bezel protector! 🙌🙌

Image

Here she is in all her glory!!

Image

And then this is the first time she’s was placed on my wrist!! 🥳🥳

Image

My SA ordered a special birthday gift for me from the Rolex merch catalog and it was such a thoughtful gift!! Any guesses to what could be in this box?

Image

It was an official Rolex branded wallet! Kinda funny that they got me a gift to protect my watch funds! It’s the perfect gift! 🤪😜It even has an integrated money clip!

Image

And then finally, a picture of the watch on my wrist!

Image

It’s just such a unique Rolex! I’m so happy this day finally arrived!

Congrats, Paul! Very unique indeed, never seen this one before 🥳🔥

·

Awosme! Congrats on this amazing watch. I almost had one as well but when the AD texted me I was sleeping and when I woke up it was sold lol. I got a thing for green Rolex so I feel this has to end up in my collection. I really want a Rolex wallet!! I have seen a few people post one and I’m a little upset I don’t have one

Did they offer gas and air or an epidural - I'm confused?

I love the sprite 👌great purchase

·

Congratulations @TheHoroSexual !!! Awesome.

·

Congrats man. That’s money.

·

Beautiful watch, congrats Paul. I just noticed it’s lefty friendly too, probably the first watch I’ve seen like it.

·

Congrats, one of my favorites in the current catalog. Wears with supreme comfort.

·

Congrats! Probably takes a little getting used to winding?

·

Great-looking watch! Seems Rolex took their design cues from Invicta:

😉

Congratulations!

·

Congratulations. Definitely a unique watch, that's for sure.

·

Good good! What was your wait time, or did you really even have one? Enjoy!

·

WoooooHooooo + Yay! Congrats man, and it looks like they treated you like a "human." Whenever I got "the call," it was like I was doing the SA at the AD a big fat favor to take my money - Keep in mind I have "spend history." BTW the G class is nice too.

·

A red letter watch day, really happy for you, enjoi🥳

Congrats Paul! Beautiful watch! I was in there Saturday appeasing my need to once again try to decide between the Pelagos 39 or Black Bay 38. Left without buying a watch but they got me in the David Yurman section!

Thanks Dana! Ooo, those Tudors are hard to choose between. What way are you leaning? Pelagos or BB38?

Getting it on jubilee was the right choice

I agree! But I still want to order the oyster bracelet for it as well.

The Pelagos! But I’m diver heavy right now so keep putting off the decision. That clean dial and the titanium is tempting.

I’m headed to Florida for a couple of weeks also so who knows what the Nomos dealer will have! So many options.

·

Niiiiice congrats!! How long was the wait? I'm on the list too but not hopeful.

They called me for an explorer and sub so now I don't think they'll call me again.

I'm after the "Batgirl", you know the Batman on a jubilee bracelet. Never really thought much about it on the Oyster bracelet but the jubilee? I'm throughly in love. Saw it in the flesh years ago and have seen the Exhibition Only (of course the bracelet is too small) and found out recently that it was the favorite watch for X-15 pilots and since I am a nut about space exploration....

But unfortunately lots of others want it as well.

BTW, my AD does know I have been after it for years but in the mean time I have been offered (and took) an Explorer II (many moons ago) and asked about an Air-King last spring then shortly thereafter....😀

PS: My AD has a one (1) Rolex a year policy and my year is about up so....🙏

Oh yeah, very familiar with the Batgirl! Funny thing with my AD this that is the first new Rolex watch that I’ve bought from them since April of 2022. So, almost 2 years. I’ve been told that some retailers have a one Rolex per year policy, but they might stretch that out to 2 or even 3 for thier preferred VIP clients or to clients celebrating an anniversary or work achievement in a single year. I was offered an Everose Day-Date with olive dial last year, but declined. I hope you get the call for your Batgirl this year!! It’s looking like you should be getting that call soon! 🤞

I love traveling and watch shopping. I always get to see new stuff that we don’t see in our little town.

It was almost 2 years. Just stay persistent and check in every month or so. Patience and persistence pay off with Rolex. Just keep telling them what you really want and they’ll get the message. Also, spread your luck around by putting your name in at as many AD’s as you can in your geographic area. You know how the saying goes “don’t put all your eggs in the same basket”.

Will do, thank you. Yes I go to two ADs now but going to revisit some others. I only have myself in one of them. I have a gut feeling I'll be seeing it discontinued before I'm called though, but that's life.

I need at least two years to recover from buying the two I have 🤣🤣

Yeah, actually most brands ship thier watches in coffins like that; or with a company like Patek, they place the watches in plastic bags and then place those inside a paper box. With Patek, there are two degrees of seal : single sealed and double sealed.

The “double seal” pertains to the outer cardboard box the plastic sealed watch is contained in to be shipped to the retailer.

The “single” seal is the cellophane container that nests the watch.

The pleasure the collector gets from unsealing his object of desire and being the first one to lay hands on it is immense. And that’s what my AD let me do when I took delivery. It was such a good memory.

It’d be equivalent to going to PP and being handed those Patek scissors ✂️ to cut open your sealed watch.

Each retailer for these brands then keeps an inventory of boxes that are used to deliver the watch so it’s more presentable.
