Didn't #1/1959 come off the line yet?

So has anyone who ordered one got the call that their watch has come in? I'll admit, I saw a real life photo over on the Rolex forums and I'm kind of disappointed I didn't jump on the chance to get one when they were announced. |

I’ll link the last page with the pictures https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread. ... 770&page=7 The general feedback over there has been very positive.

I am in the US and received my 806 earlier this week. My AD received it last week, but I was out of town at the time. My # is 545/1959. So if you are waiting for one I imagine it shouldn’t be too much longer. |

59 pieces. midnight blue dial silver hands. mesmerizing. only a “1959 Edition”, not Re-Edition, as there was no blue dial platinum 806 in 1959, but I’m sure Willy Breitling would have loved it. |

I couldn’t be happier with how the watch turned out. It was a long wait, but definitely happy with it. I hope everyone gets their watches soon.

I received mine and it was in #300’s range...I love everything about it! Curved glass, glossy dial with textured markers... Fred, the pushers seem a little far apart. I assume this was to fit the different movement? |
