I did purchase a hulk from the same AD 6 years ago and was put on the list for the batman. This is in Canada and I happened to be in the area and walked in for a visit a week before but the owner wasn't there. I guess the sales lady recognized me and mentioned it to the owner. Then a week later I got the call. So long story short, show your face around the AD and they will remember you 😆

So one visit a week for 6 years ? 300 visits? surely not!

Stories like this make me hate Rolex. Name any other product that one would need to wait 6 years to get.

I know there's a custom bootmaker in Texas (forget his name now) that has about a 4 year waiting list. But I hear what you're saying!

OP - You are WAY more patient that I would have been. I would have gone grey, or bought something else.

Congrats

I would have for sure moved on to something else in six years! But good for you for hanging in there! Sounds like some kind of record.

I would have said no and waited for the Batman. I mean, you've waited this long. What's another year at this point?

Jokes aside, congrats and enjoy the hell out of it!

Congrats! Another one on TRF. Rolex must have banged out a ton of these and shipped them all out at once. Mine was only 2-1/2 year wait. lol.

Enjoy it!!

Congrats, but six years? I would only wait six years for an organ donation. Ask what's the wait for a Pepsi!

Whew, I thought I held the record at 4+ years. I feel better now. But I think the wait makes it sweeter anyways. Now you KNOW you’ll enjoy that watch!
