My experience is they don’t have one. I have tried, no joy

No such thing as wait list.

ADs will bring out DayC, SkyD, Pepsi from the back safe if you are will to buy some PMs at MSRP.

If you stay on this forum long enough and read the posts, you will realise some wait ages and some get them with minor delay.

Does the wait list allocate the watches in order, we can all definitely say NO.

Yes, you may get onto a list but if someone with more spending power, is famous, owners friend etc, is looking for the same item, they will no doubt be put at the front of the list.

So every in demand watch will have a list of people who want it and they will priotise the names on that list. When the watch doesn't have a list, they will either call some good customers to offer it to them first and at last resort put it in the window.

Depends on the reference

Any purchase history?

Probably some variation based on location. My experience with my local Mayors is that there is no list. They have a lot of hot pieces in the back, if the SA likes you enough he/she can ask the manager. She then, in her estimation, determines if you are worthy lol.

FWIW I am so glad she determined I was not because I stopped spending with them and found an awesome AD instead who treat me like family.

That sounds about right for wait time, hulk has a much longer wait. I was quoted about 4 month wait on a sub and I also have history with them. I was told they have a Corp wide “list” - basically requests from each store location on how many clients they have waiting for a model, and they get shipped out from there. I know their regular delivery day, so popping in that evening you can see what came in before the call ins come in, might get lucky.

There is nowhere else to look.

I think you will get a Hulk from them at some point.

If it was a Daytona C or Pepsi, no way.

Waiting list is short and almost same day if you spent $500k with them

Waiting list gets progressively longer as your spend goes down

If you have no history and no spend with them then you will be on the waiting list forever that is if they even put u on it
