It took me 13 months from the main Rolex AD here in Melbourne to get an Explorer II in Polar.

I was told at the beginning of my wait that it wouldn’t be too hard, then 2 months in I was told that it was going to be near impossible and that they were seeing only 4-5 come in per year, about 6 months in I was told that they’re now hot property and that everyone wants them all of a sudden, then finally 13 months later I got a call. Only problem is that I got impatient and bought a mint condition 18’ model, so now I have a spare to sell.

F** it, I hope they go up! I’m not usually that lucky though!
