How long were in you in the waitlist for sports model?

[seanbein]

Hi,
I have registered my interest for the subs/gmt ii in Singapore and Australia and am hoping to get my first piece. How long did you wait before getting called by your AD?

Thanks

Hulk - 4 months

Friend of mine picked up a black Sub in Australia. A little over 2 years on the list with no purchase history.

[marcopolo05]

Exactly one year for a 126710 BLRO without a purchase history.

I’ve been on the pauper’s list for a Milgauss for a month but if it’s going to be 2 bloody years for a bog-standard model I’ll go grey or Omega (or Lange or GO or GS).

Life’s too short.

If only there was a real answer. Like i'm ok with waiting exactly 2 years if it's guaranteed. But it's more like, maybe 2 years, maybe 5, maybe never. Who really knows.

The 2 ADs where I now live won't even take my registration for wait list so it's either grey or nothing.

It all seems to depend on your history and the density of wealthy people where you live.

Also depends on who you are. My wife's friend who is a major celebrity, never bought any watch before, walked in AD and came out with jubilee Pepsi.

Sorry mate, already took it ;)

The AD did offer me CHNR, Submariner, SD43. I passed on those though. I did think to buy them to make a profit, but I want to enjoy this hobby and not ruin it, so I skipped that path.

116500 white dial
Since 30th June 2016

I must be in the top 3 digits after nearly 3 years.

[VacherObsessive]

Been on the BLNR ‘wait list’ in Westfield west london AD for 4 years. Lucky I bought one somewhere else in 2018...

The list you speak of doesn’t exist. The AD gives you one due to circumstances and every ADs justification to give you one will be different, such as doing a bundle with unwanted watches, or spending £100k in a single transaction, maybe he likes your face, or he likes your wife’s t1ts (if you send her in to enquire...) etc. ..

[MinMay]

No need to wait. Just pay market price and be happy. You never know if tomorrow is your last day. Just generate more money.

[teck21]

I’m quite curious as to which AD in Singapore actually took your name down with any serious intention of letting you have one over the people who are willing to build a relationship or bundle.

2 weeks for a sub but I’ve been waiting since for other watches

[Oldwoods]

GMT Oyster Batman - 2 months
Hulk - 2 months
SubC ND - 3 months
Milgauss white face - 2013 no waiting.

[kwingy]

About three years ago - I got a call for the Batman after waiting for a month. This was even from Watches of Switzerland on Oxford Street.
Now I've been on a waiting list for a Hulk for the past 2.5 years from my local AD. I know it won't realistically happen in today's climate.

I'm thinking about a polar as next watch, is the wait list horrors on these or still quite easy? (UK based)

I use to see them in shop windows everywhere about a year ago but now they too have disappeared. I can't imagine the wait list is long on those.

[tng11]

Told my AD I was interested in a BLRO in mid January 2019, and received it early March 2019. In February they offered a BLNR too. This is with an existing relationship.

[David5807]

Sub with date - no wait March 2019
Blue dial Sky-Dweller - six month wait and picked up in 2019

[ashokleyland]

Just walked in on April 2017.
Year 2019 it is different story,

[carolina23]

Ceramic Daytona White- 2yrs, BLNR and HULK-3 months after, 1 week apart...I got very lucky, great relationship with Rolex Dealer

[stylinleems]

BLRO - 7 months
116500 (B) - 31 months
116500 (W) - 37 months

[Tavli3]

3 months for a BLNR which was much better than I was originally told. I was not expecting it til September and actually I wasn't very confident of getting any call at anytime.

[johnjm]

3 weeks for a BLNR, 18 months for a 116500. Ordered a sub no date last week, expecting it within 2 weeks

It is ridiculous nowadays.

0 days. I buy from grey dealers. Rolex ADs and Rolex proper have abandoned their customers

[Dennisoul]

2 months for an Explorer 39mm

The AD by me had one of each color in the case a few weeks ago.

If you’re in the Northeast USA, let me know. I’ll give you the AD to phone.

Sub - 3 weeks. But that back in the end of last year
