Different Model wait times

"Is there a place where I can find out about how long people wait on average for a reference number, and whether they have a spending history or not? I know there is a place on Reddit; I'm wondering if this place is the same? In particular I am interested on average wait times for the 226570-01.

Thanks for any help or Direction.

Sorry but a multitude of opinions lays in wait to answer a very difficult question unprovable along with undeniable …
So I’d say, no …

I’d say that’s like asking how long is a piece of string. If the process of allocation is random you can hardly put a time on it.
Buying from a grey circumnavigates all of this but at a price

There are far too many variables for any data to be reliable.

Good luck with the Explorer.

Just ask several ADs that question, minus the spend part. Be honest. Tell them you just want this particular model, and how long until they can get you one. I was told perhaps 6 months for a regular Explorer 36

Bingo
I would put your name down with several AD if possible. 2-3, nothing crazy.

The reference number I quoted is for the explorer II not the explorer I, does this change the wait time at all?

I waited 3 years for an Exp II and got nothing so popped into another AD with no spend history and got one inside 2 weeks. There’s really no set time

Short answer is such a resource doesn't exist and wouldn't be of much value even if it did. There are too much variables in the process

You should make monthly visits to the ADs to remind them you are still ready and willing to purchase the Explorer II.


Good luck.
