Local AD has a great selection

I bought a BLNR in February and picked up my sub today. I only had to wait 3 weeks on the Hulk. B98AEAEF-0B3F-4707-9FD4-DFEBA6D6F377.jpeg

Interesting...I see a SD43 and Dblue in there, surprising if they aren’t already sold.

Congrats, great pieces!

Very well-stocked AD. If the SD43 and Deep Blue weren't already spoken for, I'm sure they will be before dinner! Regardless, it's nice to be able to see more in displays.

Awesome selection! Can’t believe that DBlue and sd43 are just sitting in the case and not on their safe. Good deal! Just as it should be!

Looks like a BLNR sitting in the case. I've seen it twice recently* at local ADs so I have to think that supply is starting to normalize.

*recently = a couple months ago so don't PM me asking for one.

Maybe they'll let you pay in-person and ship back to FL to save tax. If so, the drive would be worth it.

This is impossible. From these forums I learned the wait time is minimum 7 years.

Large Rolex AD in Beverly Hills CA had virtually no SS sports and told me get used to waiting. If you have bought 8-10 from us before we can get you on a list for a Sub in the next year. 5-7 for a desireable watch like a Daytona. What a joke.

That’s just 100% pure unfiltered BS!! Find another AD.

As I mentioned before, a few ADs are keeping SS stock in their safe. So even when and if stock starts to normalize, they will ride the lack of availability waive till the last minute. It gives them leverage to sell undesirable watches, prevents you from asking for a discount and keeps them from dumping undesirable stock at cost to grey dealers.

With so many Rolex ADs in each city and with many more within driving distance (in the US), finds someone honest and you won’t get that kind of BS talk.

I was in Boston recently and went to an AD to ask about a leather strap for my Daytona, just for the hell of it, I asked if they had any SS pieces in the back (since the case was empty), they said that they had none (a lie), but if I bought a DJ, they could get me a Sub (which I didn’t want) from their other location in a few days.
