Invicta Bolt Chronograph Black Dial Gold Ion-plated Men's Watch

Finally purchased my dream watch!
Hey guys, after much searching I have taken possesion of my grail watch (2502.80) the 42.2 AT in blue! The search was made all the more challenging due to the fact that it's been discontinued by Omega. These pics don't do it justice, but I wanted to share with the forum. Thanks to everyone for their feedback and suggestions, and a special thanks to Ulackfocus for the AD referral.

Service times
The local AD mailed my DJ to the Dallas RSC for routine service eight weeks ago. Are services times typically this long? Thanks,Wink

DD36 overdue upgrade?
Does anyone else share my opinion that the DD36 is long overdue an upgrade? From what I can see it¡¯s unchanged since 2005 during which time the DD2 has come and gone, the DD40 has been released (inc ceramic link bracelet and new movement) and all sorts of other models including the Datejust (closest relation to the day-date) are now technically in front of whats supposed to be the brands flagship model. Although I¡¯m quite sure good discounts can be had on dd36¡¯s vs other models it has still been subject to all the price rises and a YG 36 is only 10% cheaper on UK list than the equivalent dd40 despite the bigger size and advancements. The only reason I can think of is that there is so much outstanding dd36 stock sitting in shop windows that they have to run it down to the point where they¡¯re not creating an issue for themselves to get rid of it/take them back by releasing a new 36mm day-date. Any other ideas?

New models - How does it work and how do I get one?
I've been on a few lists here in the UK for a Batman for a while now. Now with Basel coming up and the potential for new models, I'm starting to fantasise about not having to wait until old ages before getting my hands on a SS sports watch.Being a fairly new Rolex fan, this is my first time being around for new models to drop. Would be interesting to hear a bit about how the process normally plays out and how I can put myself in the best position for getting one of the new models if they release something that I like.When and how during the fair does Rolex normally release new models? Are there any tips on how to snatch one if they do release something that I fancy? Should I jump on the phone to a few AD's or might there even be a chance to snatch one up in store around release day since there is potentially no waiting list?
