Thread all abt ROLEX - Part 2

[Plikhz]

I have not gone beyond the first Complication and still waiting for my 5167A. Hence have not discussed further with my SA what happens next to get a second Aquanaut. However, what I do know from previous conversations is that a direct purchase of a Grand Complication can get you an allocation of Nautilus. I’m not sure if two purchases of Complications can get you the Nautilus. It might, or it might not. Anyway these requirements is not static and can change from time to time without prior notice. So best if you ask your PP SA about it as last year a purchase of Grand Complication can get you Nautilus but it’s been quite a while and who knows if the “rules“ might have changed.

What are your current plans or wish list beyond the 5167a, out of curiosity? What’s a reasonable grail/endgame for PP, given that the grandest of grand comps are quite out of this world (mine, at least, lol) in terms of their rrp?

My dealer friend said one of his customer bought and sold him a cartier santos skeleton at a 40k loss as he bought it for PP allocation. Dunno how true leh. I thought PP watches count towards allocation?

My SA told me that they aren’t allowed to let customers buy a non-Patek to journey for PP allocation. It would have to be Patek for Patek

Ah I see. Hope you get ur 5167a soon! Were you given a timeline to expect? It sounds like a good deal to get 4947/1a and then get allocated a 5167a. It also doesn’t sound bad to get a grand comp (provided it’s the more entry level ones) to get a nautilus (also depends on which). And understand it keeps changing, so am curious to know what it is now, although it won’t always hold true

Was told the wait could be around 12-18 months. So probably anytime between July 2023 to Jan 2024. I think the Nautilus could be something like 5726. If I not wrong, the qualifying spend to get the new 5811 could be more.

Wishlist beyond 5167A for me could be 5168G or 5164A. I don’t think I will go for a Nautilus. just too out of reach for me.

I see! Sounds like u are prob number 1 or 2 in the queue. Good luck!!

Why do you say a nautilus too out of reach for you? Just thought that after the aquanaut, it would be interesting to go for a nautilus. Interesting that you would opt not to! Have you considered the 5968?

i thought that 5726 would be nicer, being a stainless steel plus a more interesting dial, but sounds like 5811 more difficult to get?

5970

Today went to find my SA…

Panda still left hanging - no rejection or approval to sell discon model, no instruction to return existing inventory also… customers like me left hanging

He asked me wanna get Starbucks instead? But need a cooling period if approval is given for Panda… of course I wait for Panda right?

He also said going forward… it’ll become easier to get Rolexes from Hour Glass

I’m just afraid that if I wait too long, the discon Panda will no longer be available.

Starbucks is still a current model so it’s ok.
