All in all, a frustrating time for buyers in the UK!

Not sure what the point is of the Rolex catalogues they send me in the post - half the references in there are unavailable. Or only available if you're willing to put up wih the fun and games ADs play with wait lists.

Come to think of it, buying a new Rolex is becoming quite an unattractive proposition for me.

Contrast that with Patek, who also have big wait lists, but I find they're a lot clearer about when a watch is likely to arrive when you go on a list. And as they manufacture much fewer pieces than Rolex, you can kind of forgive them for a 12 month wait on popular references.
