The other time I went to my local AD to put my name in the waiting list for 14060..

They told me it could be months to a year. They said only 1 to a few came in every month and it’s unpredictable. Ridiculous if you ask me

I assume you mean the 114060 as the 14060 has been out of production a while. Let's just say it is what it is with the professional line being almost closed down for a while now.

You could be waiting a lot longer than a year.

IMHO if I’m paying 9.5k for a grey that’s from 2013 or something. I’d rather get a new one that has better improvements like the lume

Maybe it’s time to call other ADs. Months to a year wait on a sub is ridiculous.

These days it seems any sub is hard to get. I’d keep searching around at other AD’s and see if you can get lucky.

It's insane how the SS shortage includes subs. Close friend of me recently wanted to add a standard sub with date to his collection. Took him a few weeks of calling around various ADs in the greater SoCal area (everything from Ventura down to San Diego) regularly before he could get one.

I think the good news is that if you live in a major city with multiple ADs, this is one where when subs come in they can make it to the display case. If you're hunting for one just call around, give your contact info, and keep checking for updates.

That is how Rolex works. AD's cannot control or have any control on what inventory comes through their doors.

I saw a few ND subs floating around a little while back. Lately it’s been super dry with virtually no SS in the cases.

And it’s quite likely that the stock I previously saw ended up in the hands of a gray dealer
