Blue TT Submariner wait?

Anyone know about how long the wait would be on a Blue TT Submariner from an AD in the USA?

I got mine within a week of asking mine AD but i got lucky. I do think TT are a bit easier to get than SS models, but most likely you are looking at least a 12mos wait in 2022.

I remember traveling a lot in 2020 and seeing the Blue TT Sub available for purchase in about 30% of the ADs I visited. That was the 116613 though, so I guess the new model is that much better. I didn't really like the 116613 too much as the dial and fat lugs just didn't do it for me, with the exception of the matte blue dial that was produced for a few years. That was actually stunning to me.

You got no chance these days.

The several years ago when ppl were claiming they could find TT subs in AD windows I was already very skeptical. I never saw a TT sub in ANY ADs windows for years and years already.

These days you got no chance. 12+ months at least.

Best way to get this answer is to ask your local AD.

While the demand has increased, for the 13LB, they are still easier to get.

I have actually seen this and the two tone Sea-Dweller in a display this year (actual models, available for sale!)

Go talk with an AD and start the journey! It is a beautiful piece!

Good Luck!

Go ask all the ADs in your city. I did that and only waited a month.

I'm waiting on 4 stainless steel pieces and have a great relationship with my AD. Lots of spend on non-Rolex and on jewelry. Yesterday I was blindly offered a blue TT sub. Passed.

TT is not exactly hot and popular, so it should be easier than SS, even today. Took me 10 hours to get the 126613LB, no purchase history, back in Sep 2020. I was lucky but so few people wear TT where I live that I wouldn't be surprised if ADs sit on a ton of stock.

In my opinion, secondary pricing tells the story of how easy certain pieces are to acquire. The Bluesy doesn't fetch a large premium over retail so its safe to say its easy to get.

7 weeks with a 15 year relationship. Not a big spender, maybe 20k. I will say I do love my AD and anything that I have had an issue with they made right.

Literally 3 business days between the day I expressed interest initially to when I got the notification that it was in. This happened last month. Only thing I had bought there was a Grand Seiko.

I get the feeling that there isn't a waitlist for these at all ADs, but as soon as they call around, they can find a buyer.

What can I get with these bonus points?

Well, I got a text last night that they had a TT Blue Sub for me and I picked it up today! I officially asked to be put on the list for it on 3/20/2022, so two months exactly was my wait time. I had previously purchased a BB58 and an Omega SMP from them before.

Been offered the SD43, 126613LB in the past 12 months, turned them both down. Currently already own a 116613LB (2016, sunburst).

After seeing a 2013 Bluesy with the sportier dial I couldn't forget it. It just had a unique vibe about the whole watch which was different to the sunburst.

Currently looking at acquiring a sports dial bluesy.

Got a 41mm Blusey same day as asking. Same for a Rootbeer. TT aren't that tough to get. I do have lengthy purchase history with AD.

Well, he did buy two expensive watches. That tends to help speed things up.
