116610LV UK Only

Has anyone on here from the UK received or even seen a new one in the last 12 months.
I speak to my local AD quite regularly. They said they’ve only seen a few in the last 12 months.
But they’ve assured me that I’m on the list and in a good place to get one. I’m just not holding my breath

Bud, you might want to delete that. You may fall off that list for putting them on blast.

Of course OP could just really have an irrational hard on for the colour green and the brand with the pointy crown.
WTF??

Just my way of saying to OP relax, wait and not think too much about it, and certainly don't post sensitive information like your name and details of the AD out of exasperation for a watch.

If someone copied that image and emailed it to the AD (whose contact info is included in the image), do you think they will bump you up the list, down it, or off it?

I'm guessing you think up. I'm also guessing you're wrong about that. Or maybe you are fed up with the situation and just don't care any more. I can understand that, but you are in a very large cohort at the moment. My AD said they got 2 last year. They closed their list at 50 names.

Whatever happens, I wish you luck with it. The LV is a fantastic watch. You could buy one tomorrow if you're really desperate. The shops are full of them. Just not the Rolex ADs.

For me "being on the list" means writing my name and phone number on a post-it note and never being contacted again.

Mr Lee Johnston,

You're probably not getting a hulk anytime soon...

My friend got one after 4weeks wait last September. He is a known customer but then again, not a big spender for that AD. With your email posted here, looks like you won't get one at all from your AD now .

Not cool to post the actual email with names etc.

I don’t even think it is appropriate to mention particular ADs by name in most instances.
Just me though.

Wow, times have certainly changed, now we even have to be careful how we talk about these ADs?! Anyone remember the “Soup Nazi” episode of Seinfeld? No soup for you!!

Can’t share info about ADs? come on. I reference the “who’s who” section on TRF. Not similar? That mentions names - explicitly. Nothing inappropriate about OP’s post.

No such thing as class where you were brought up?

I'm waiting on one and believe it will be with me this year. Registered an interest late last year and have been told they will receive 5 this year so they are out there but in small numbers.

Interesting that some are treating the OP’s disclosure like he posted covert nude pics of his neighbour’s wife.

OP, to answer your question, I got one a year ago. Not a big spender by any means (at least by forum standards) but I did have a purchase history, which is key. I think if you have one, you’ll get it. If not, then you might be waiting until the bubble bursts, whenever that might be.

With the “my AD said” trope in full swing round here, it can at least be said that Whittles appear to be honest and not full of BS, judging by that email.

OP let the wait get to him here, I had a blow up with my AD face to face in November after requesting a no date sub that I was told should get quick. 8 months wait and still ongoing - We got a Batgirl quicker
