Good luck with it. I bought my first way back in 89. Daydate with jubilee two-tone bracelet and a blue face. $3000 back then. Got my eye on a two-tone submariner with blue face and dial now. Love that color combination. Paul Rodgers of Bad Company said it best, Give me silver, blue and gold, the color of the sky i'm told..
Congrats!!! Similar story, looking to purchase a black GV Milgauss. Visited with Phil Markle at Markle Jewelers, A.D. in Houston, Tx.. They had one on hold for a customer. I felt luck just to be able to view it in person and hope for the best. Turns out, the customer which was also in the store decided to pass and wait for the blue dial GV version instead. I was on my way out when Phil stopped me to explain the situation and offer me the watch. I couldn't believe it! Of course I jumped at the opportunity and walked out with my brand new Milgauss! Love the no-date Sub!!!
Great choice! I bought my 114060 ten years or so ago at an AD in the Cayman Islands. They had Batman, Hulk and many others then too. I bought the 114060 and am glad that I did, even those most other steel sports were available too. The Green Submariner will likely lose its “cool factor” over time and Batman likely will too. No Date is the best because it a classic and does bot have the ugly cyclops.
Great! Congratulations! Had a similar situation in central London a year ago. Never purchased anything from that dealer. I was walking past the store and walked in 15 minutes before closing time. Initially had no intention of going there, was just having a stroll. I said I’m looking for a watch and they asked which one. I said Submariner ND, the guy said “one minute, let me check something”. I thought he was just being polite. He came back with the watch and said I could have it. Needless to say, I bought it. Also, I wanted to buy a Hulk and went to a different dealer later that year where I had no purchase history at all. I sat down with one of the managers and explained that I’m not a flipper and really just want to buy this watch to wear regularly and we spoke for about 10-15 minutes. They said they are happy to put me on the list, which I was sceptical about, as usually it’s just a polite way to say no. I kept visiting them from time to time, so we became quite familiar. Anyway, March 2020 I got my hulk. Initial enquiry was at the end of July 2019. So, 7 months wait in total. The only thing is I had to pay the increased price introduced in January 7% or so. Also, I hear talks that watches purchased in 2020 could be considered extra special due to the current situation. Enjoy your watch!
I was very lucky to get a Hulk five years ago from an A.D. In Canterbury in Kent which had it stock, and I paid £6000.50 for it, and I love it. Enjoy your watch. Kind regards from a very happy bunny.
I’ve bought 2 Rolex watches from the ad since June 2020 . I had no buying history with them. By just walking in . I got the two tone sea dweller and the stainless sub with black face. Not sure what people are talking about a wait list ???
Congratulations on a great piece! You may not believe this but the exact same thing happened to me, with the exact same watch on probably the same day as you! About a week ago or so for me. And then I come across your video... so crazy lol. Anyhow cheers and enjoy! ✌🏽
I am not sure if you are aware that they are super rare. 5-8% of all sold SS subs is a no date. It is also much more beautiful than the one with a cyclops.
Great watch!! I just pick up a datejust 41 blue Roman numeral dial jubilee bracelet from my ad on wensday I said the same thing told them I wanted to buy a watch today and boom they had it.
I rang a local AD got offered the same watch as you the next day. I think the Rolex buying game has been suspended. They need to offload stock to keep going in these times.
I waited almost a year 2 years ago for mine with the date! With the global situation rn 2020 is looking to be year of the luxury watch for a lot of people, prices are dropping!!
Congrats, I have all of the current Submariners in my collection except for the Smurf. Sometimes I geek out on my gold blue or my Hulk but, at its core, the simple no date Sub is the King. Wear it in good health!
Congratulations! It's my grail watch. Have the cash but can't bring myself to pull trigger at the moment. Feel like I could do more to earn it. But some day.
Whatkindonamedoyacallthis? I brought a datejust March 2020. I know the feeling, My advice is don’t think about it so much close your eyes and squeeze the trigger, don’t pull.
My local AD literally laughed at me when i called and asked for this piece... it’s messed up that person have to be lucky or know someone to buy it at MSRP. I was looking to get my first luxury watch...
congratulations , I think you blew it though. You Should have purchased a lottery ticket instead. The kind of luck you had that day does not come around often.
swampThaang I didn’t pull cash until I got notified by the AD. But being able to walk in with cash after I said I had the cash was good to show I wasn’t full of crap
in the time that ekonomi down. at the sametimes COVID 19 terror. some country cannot afford Lockdown cause people will die from hunger and you enjoying your rolex. 😃 good for you. Congrats..
69Velle540 Yes you were lucky. But 1m people are about to be unemployed, the FTSE down 35%, zero watch market out there, shops are shut now anyway - someone will cancel at no loss, (so they will be more lucky people like you), whilst that “unlucky someone” will wait for better times and buy the new model
John Scott new model does not cause the prices of older model to crash its a Rolex not a car. He bought for retail so he can’t really go wrong. He’s LIKES the no date so losing/earning money doesn’t matter. There’s always a market for watches, if the economy dips the “illegal” economy always tends to jump up and fill the void. So regardless there is ALWAYS someone with cash on the hip to buy a Rolex
I got lucky with a no date after being on the waiting list of several dealers in the uk, i love it but why have you put it back in the box ? It is there to be worn .. enjoy
I'm pleased for you but doesn't this just make a mockery of the 'wait list' scenario. No doubt some other guy didn't get this watch because their wait list is just a joke.
Alan Yau because the decade was filled with ups and downs, wedding and then kids. Something more important that always prevented me from my dream watch
69Velle540 That’s true dude but you gotta go there to check it out some day. Some shops there have like 10 hulks side by side on the shelf. Also lots of Subs and Pepsi and Batman. It’s heaven there for watch lovers 😎
How do they have so much stock? If I was treating myself to a Rolex I'd happily tag on a trip to Tokyo to buy it! Seems crazy that others would rather pay through the nose to a flip seller as opposed to just going to Tokyo.
Buying a rolex is like begging somebody to rob you. So ridiculous people paying $8000 for a watch which only cost $500 to make and feels like won a lottery. Good job Rolex.
No date is actually my favorite sub.
I owned the Hulk and sold it for the Submariner no date 114060! I never regretted about this decision. Really nice watch.
Such a lovely watch! Now is this time to buy anything you’ve had your eye on as businesses are in need of sales!
I remember my first Rolex. What a great feeling. Congratulations. Wear it in good health.
That’s my perfect watch. I could wear that everyday for the rest of my life. Enjoy it and use it
It's because the Chinese market softened in early 2020. Amazing pick up!
You tell a story like my uncle Fred.......but you showed the receipt and that was cool. Great vid!!
Congratulations on this milestone, Patrick!
André Wilson thank you
Congratulations, very lucky! A lot of people actually prefer the look of the no date as it gives a completely symmetrical dial.
Good luck with it. I bought my first way back in 89. Daydate with jubilee two-tone bracelet and a blue face. $3000 back then. Got my eye on a two-tone submariner with blue face and dial now. Love that color combination. Paul Rodgers of Bad Company said it best, Give me silver, blue and gold, the color of the sky i'm told..
scottym3 my AD has Submariner Date S/YG in hand right now. I just bought a sub.
I'm really happy for ya man. 👍

C6LEDEZ the one in Memorial. Nice store. I met with him a few weeks before I purchased mine from the store up north.
Congratulations. I know the feeling as I got my first Rolex in 1999. Also a no date. I love it!

Lovely piece. Have same watch and wear it every day. Similar story for me on my purchase.
Nice , I pulled the trigger on my 2020 sub date 👍
Amazing. I bought my Datejust 41 Steel White Roman Numerals last week. I'm determined to get GMT 2 from my AD. Wear it in good health.

114060. The perfect watch. Congratulations!
Amazing time piece. Congratulations.
Congratulations! Great story too!
Just paid for a white face Daytona, can’t get it until shops reopen. Cannot wait it’s been a long slog waiting.
kev doran now that’s torture
Congratulations. Great timing. Enjoy!
You were really fortunate to get the watch so quickly. It took me three months. 😜
Great Video! congrats!
It's the best looking sub, like the original love mine every time I look at it makes me smile 👌
Beautiful timepiece :)

Fluted or smooth bezel?
Fluted

Had a call y day about a new Hulk £7.300 no fiance cash only from AD in England
Good for you, well done, squire.
Enjoy your first Rolex Submariner, it's about the journey
Picked up the same watch, love it!!! My AD has a Yachtmaster II, Deepsea, and Submariner Date S/YG if anyone is serious and interested.
I waited almost a year 2 years ago for mine with the date!
With the global situation rn 2020 is looking to be year of the luxury watch for a lot of people, prices are dropping!!

Nice buy! I’m in San Antonio and can’t find one at any AD!
i’m in austin same boat
@@Dorments keep trying, I finally was able to buy a 116610LN at my AD at North Star mall.
@@frankthetank5013 how long did you have to wait for?
@@Dorments 3 months
@@frankthetank5013 wow that’s not bad at all! Could you elaborate on your process? So you just went asked to be placed in line and walaaaah?
Most perfect watch ever.
looks great - enjoy
wrist shot would be great next time
you got the medium box instead of the small box which is the correct box for a ND Sub
Max Parkin I thought they had done away with the small box all together..
69Velle540: first I’ve heard of that / what does your white tag say - Oyster S or Oyster M ?
The tag on my no date said med box , and that’s what came with mine 1 year ago.
A.D.
I'm looking to get a sky dewler in the same way you did it
Very nice watch at a very nice price. You did good.
Congratulations! It's my grail watch. Have the cash but can't bring myself to pull trigger at the moment. Feel like I could do more to earn it. But some day.

Just get it . You won’t regret it
Was is an actual rolex store or AD? Thanks.
Philip Bautista AD
Thank you
how did u get this watch if watch stores are all closed???
Got it the week before all hell broke loose
69Velle540 ah... well wear it in good health...
Congrats!! Wear it in good health!!
My local AD literally laughed at me when i called and asked for this piece... it’s messed up that person have to be lucky or know someone to buy it at MSRP. I was looking to get my first luxury watch...
Alex S keep trying bud
Alex S have you bought any watches at h that AD before ?
The Watch 24 no. Don’t have deep pockets like that. And don’t want to buy stuff so i can buy rolex
Get an Omega.
Alex S try getting one in an Airport, they usually have orders that haven’t been picked up, i picked up a no date sub at dubai duty free
awsome
congratulations , I think you blew it though. You
Should have purchased a lottery ticket instead. The kind of luck you had that day does not come around often.
Miracles happen!
My friend got a Hulk last week
Congrats Patrick! Hope you nail-down that Hulk one day...
Congratulations wear it in good health
Retail price for a no date sub in the uk is £5,750
Why is it more in the US ?
The Watch 24 new price in uk for the 114060 is £6300
Nice purchase! But yah it is like that fir first time Rolex buyers ! They wanna give u steel model ,. Try that STORY with the other AD
Nice pick, the no date is the way to go. You got it because China's demand dropped. Best from Spain!.
Does cash vs cc matter as much as people say to the AD? You didn’t know what they had, so walking around with $10k cash must have been stressful.
swampThaang I didn’t pull cash until I got notified by the AD. But being able to walk in with cash after I said I had the cash was good to show I wasn’t full of crap
My local AD in Carmel Ca. Told me they do not accept cash.
i asked my local AD for a paul newman daytona
That must have been a second hand dealer then.
How much?
in the time that ekonomi down. at the sametimes COVID 19 terror. some country cannot afford Lockdown cause people will die from hunger and you enjoying your rolex. 😃 good for you. Congrats..
No date, in the midst of the CV19 crash, just two weeks before the model change ... but still lucky I guess. (Discuss?)
John Scott not sure what you mean
69Velle540 Yes you were lucky. But 1m people are about to be unemployed, the FTSE down 35%, zero watch market out there, shops are shut now anyway - someone will cancel at no loss, (so they will be more lucky people like you), whilst that “unlucky someone” will wait for better times and buy the new model

Effin A Cotton! Effin A!
I'm pleased for you but doesn't this just make a mockery of the 'wait list' scenario. No doubt some other guy didn't get this watch because their wait list is just a joke.
borjastick part of the reason I made this. The so called Waitlist is a joke and it’s being played by the AD’s. It’s all about relationships
Which AD in the Houston area did you go to??
I just wanted to know because i live in the Houston area and was planning on buying my first rolex at the end of the year.
Congrats
Rolex is good at “adding to suspense “
If waited 10 years then why not fly over to Tokyo get the Hulk you want? They have tons of stock there all legit.

Have to agree.
Why are you whispering?
Buying a rolex is like begging somebody to rob you. So ridiculous people paying $8000 for a watch which only cost $500 to make and feels like won a lottery. Good job Rolex.
Tony look up older sub models, then look up vintage subs. Subs increase in value over time.
Enrique Florendo true story. It’s a sound investment.
Why would there be a wait list for a bog standard sub? You can just go grab one from goldsmiths. Nothing special.
Sabrina Hallt hahahahaha
Tremendous BS story
Congrats!
