Datejust 41, jubilee, smooth bezel. Rhodium/slate or silver dial. Been looking for one for my first Rolex with no luck.

A 41mm Submariner Date (Black) 126610LN. I haven't even been able to see one since it was released.

This is great! I am looking to get a OP 36 in Candy Pink for my wife for our 10th anniversary next May. Would love a BLRO for myself but the OP seems much more attainable, especially in that size.

Due to the overwhelming positive response...

PAY IT FORWARD - ROUND #2 is ON!

I want to thank Lol-x (Steve) for allowing this thread to be in the General Discussion forum.


A few key helpful hints, suggestions, and advice:


1. If you have a dream watch, BE SPECIFIC. Non-specific wishes are disqualified.

For example...

Datejust 41 = DISQUALIFIED

Datejust 41 with fluted bezel, oyster bracelet, blue dial, stick hour markers = PERFECT



2. If your post contains more than one model or configuration, it's DISQUALIFIED.



3. TRF membership status matters. If you are a TRF Pledge Member, you will jump over any posts from non-members.

To become a Pledge Member, visit here:

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=781738



4. Both Rolex and Tudor models are eligible.


I'll respond to all reasonable questions. Good luck!!

Such an amazing thing you did on round one.

You should be commended in soooooooo many ways.

As far as my wish to pay it forward? I only have one dream ever illusive I’d never ever ever ever flip, see my sig line lol, is a white dial 116500.

I mean if you’re gonna dream then dream big I guess. In all seriousness whoever gets this generous offer owes you a debt of gratitude.

Very nice for you to do this during these times. I have a growing fondness for the Explorer II (226570) polar or black and of course my ultimate would be the black and blue gmt. Good for you for doing this and congrats to whoever gets this watch!!

Are you giving whatever watch it is away… no strings attached. Or are you purchasing the watch, finding someone who has posted on the thread, and giving them the option of buying it off you…?

I'll purchase the first piece I'm offered -- no matter what it is.

I will make it available to a TRFer whose post mentioned that specific model/configuration. Like last time, I’ll offer to pass it along for whatever I paid.

Love how fun these threads are! Just curious, if your AD found out about this, could this sour your relationship?

126610LN would be fantastic! Only like 2 modern Rolexes…I have one of them (Milgauss Z-Blue), getting the second one (Sub-Date) would be absolutely brilliant!!

Think it’s a cool idea.

How exactly does this work for you, do you just ask the AD for any model they can get? Obviously the wait lists are long for all of us just wondered how you’re able to acquire one so quickly?

Anyhow, I won’t make an entry as I have a lot of watches and feel there is some more deserving people here.

Good luck :)

I would like to think the AD is happy the watch is going to a deserving Rolex or Tudor lover.

Just walk in and ask for ANY model they have in the back (that isn’t out for display). Whatever I’m offered is what I purchase. I really have no idea what it will be.
