I don't THINK anyone is mad enough to wear them with stickers on
I wear my Batman with a few of the stickers still in place. Other people don't get close enough to the watch to see them, and they are non-intrusive to my enjoyment, so I'm happy.

The only reason I keep them is I know the Grey market will offer more with stickers in place when it comes to sell it.

That`s funny!

I have a Batman on a Sub bracelet, the original GMT bracelet still has all the stickers on it, not really any point in me peeling them off!

I couldn't wear with the stickers... Would affect my enjoyment of the watch, I couldn't wait to rip them off and to be fair I always have resale in my mind as I would liquidate if I came upon hard times.

bazza.

LOVE peeling the stickers off

I'm sure I found tiny ones on the tips of the crown guards

I love how some of the stickers aren't that noticeable until you peel it off and the steel comes to life

How come?

That's not RRP but also not grey market price either!

Exchange rate buying abroad?

£9100 from a proper AD as found on the Rolex website?

But authorised dealers can't go upwards from the Rolex price list and it's nowhere near grey market price

So that mean the grey market is getting saturated and prices heading to RRP?

Would hopefully put off people wanting to just flip....

Quite a spread on these at the moment £10,995-£12,995 across the 18 for sale in the UK on Ch24, I was thinking of chopping my Omegas in and putting a bit towards to just have one watch.

Most are in the 11.5k to 12.5k area, can't get my head around paying 3-4k more than list though.

I collected my new Seadweller today 126600 and I love it! I have owned a GMT and a 40mm Seadweller but for some reason the 126600 feels more special on the wrist. I haven't put more finger on it yet why??? Maybe the new proportions just work.

Nice one, lovely watch, the other SS rolex apart from the DSSD and YMII are pretty small, the SD43 has more about it.

I see WF have just taken in 6 SD43.

Evening chaps

Is it still possible to buy this model new from a Rolex dealer? I have got my name down at one dealer already, are there quite a few accepting order still or am I unlikely to get this model now?

Thank you
