Super Clones from china

I dropped by the jeweler where my wife bought me my Daytona with my son in law because he wanted to have a look at some watches. It turns out they had one used Daytona from a football player that the gemologist there said had only been in the store for a few days and that he expected would only be there for a couple more days before it got sold as it was unusual for them to have one. We had a look at the counter of new Rolexes and virtually all of them were on consignment from Rolex and very few were for sale as that consignment gets rotated between Rolex dealers. When I asked about getting a Daytona, he said he had no way of knowing if they could get a new one as you can't place an order or reserve one, you just have to wait until one comes off consignment and they receive one they can sell. They are the only Rolex dealer for 130 miles, so it is going to be hard to buy a new one in my area. I often drop by a Rolex dealer for fun when I travel, and it's been a while since I've been at a dealer that had a new Daytona in store for sale. When you ask if you can get one, they just shrug their shoulders.

Perhaps there are many people wearing fakes.

 

Steel Daytonas and gmt master Pepsi are the hardest watches to get from an a.d.
