Waiting on a Sub c
I have had my BLNR for a few weeks now and I love it. I am now on the waiting list for a Sub c and I am told it could take 12-18 months. That really sucks.

Oh well that happens, but look at it this way, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy your watch and ride your bike too

I feel for you guys over in Australia.
In the US you can walk into just about any AD and they will have multiple Subs. I hope the wait isn't as long as they say. |

Why you wont buy here from trusted sellers who got them on stock at better price. Just a thought.

Wow that's is incredible, is the duty/taxes too much to just buy from a trusted seller? Time is money.

Again, I'm glad I'm in NYC, they are in every store that sells Rolex! Maybe worth a trip to NYC from Australia, make a day out of it! Lol

Why not look for a mint 16610 - aluminum Bezel model Sub? It will provide more contrast with your BLNR. Narrower lugs, slimmer profile... To me, the Sub C and BLNR are similar enough to not have. |

That seems like a really long time to wait. If that is the case, I still think it's worth it! Love mine, and I imagine you'll love yours as well. Good Luck..

Holy.....That is just unreal. What's their explanation for THAT?
It's not by any stretch of the imagination a rare watch and I've got 'em staring me in the face through AD Windows every day over here.

If you do in fact wait that long, my hat is off to you for your patience. Quite impressive, I wouldn't be able to.

Mate check out Zaeger website or even Watch Exchange website. They are both in Sydney and I got my Sub C in 5 minutes flat.

A trusted seller here can...
 1) Have it to you in 24-48 hrs. 2) Save you a lot of money. 3) Send you the IDENTICAL watch. Steve (lol-x) in Australia, just pulled off a couple "incomings" this month from a Trusted Seller here on TRF. 18 months for a Sub is ridiculous. Good luck

If you don't want one sent in from abroad with all the risks/fees, there must be some resellers in Aus that have a track record now.
