Christie’s documents a 216570 specially commissioned for the SAS in 2012. Its white-dial example has a 2012 guarantee and the “Who Dares Wins” engraving. Sotheby’s also describes a 2012 SAS order and catalogs ~~one~~ black-dial example with a winged-dagger badge and owner identifiers. ~~Its heading~~ dates that watch circa 2010, ~~before Rolex’s documented 2011 launch. Sotheby’s title dates one example circa 2010;~~ its note records ~~the~~ 2012 issue. Christie’s ~~documents~~ a matching 2012 guarantee. The circa-2010 figure is an outlier among these catalogue dates.
