New to Rolex

I’ve been working hard and I feel I’m at a point to pull the trigger on a dream and buy my first Rolex. I want the Sub with date as I feel I can wear it with anything and will be a good first luxury watch. I live in a smaller town with only one dealer and have no prob branching out to other cities if necessary. My question is, the AD doesn’t have any currently in stock, what’s the avg wait am I looking at 6 months or 6 years? Thanks for any input!

Welcome! The wait time would vary depending on the model you're looking for.

On a side note. Are you a pilot?

Welcome to the forum.

I’d inquire at your AD and see what they have to say. You never know, you might get lucky.

Good luck

Welcome to the forums! Every AD and everywhere in the US is different. I would say the average wait time is a two to five months. Like Brian said, head to the AD, strike a conversation and see what happens. Good luck!
