Mate - I feel your pain & frustration.
I've a story which is "unusual" but I'll try to explain.
I organised a refund on a PANERAI I had paid a deposit on - & in turn used the funds to go on a holiday with my family, as well as installed a new oven, cook-top & updated or old sofas......
As I finalised my refund, I was talking with my AD and mentioned how I was interested in the SD126600, to which he replied "you and everyone else!" & that I'd be on the waiting list for a LONG time - possibly 2-3 years.
Long story short, we organised & paid for our trip. Afterwards,I had a thought & e-mailed a ROLEX AD in the OS country we were bound for. 12 days later it had arrived, I asked for a photo, confirmed the Retail price (pretty much the same around the world) & placed a deposit on it. I "view" it next Thursday & collect it as I leave the country a week or so afterwards.....
So what I'd say is persevere & try "out-of-the-box" ways of getting your hands on one.
Good luck mate!
