I am gone this has been the theme with Rolex for a long time, no? I’m fairly new to collecting but the wait lists and all these hoops is a major turn off. Unfortunately I do really like their pieces above all other, so kinda stuck!

If you must have blue you may have to wait or pay well over msrp. Truth is finding a good AD is tough unless you buy a lot of watches or know someone.

Lots of good comments regarding the AD approach, You can always go the Trusted Seller route — I think Thanh (Takuya) has a couple BNIB for just a little over what you’d pay retail (with tax).....my .02

1- the high rollers or ones with great relationship with their AD and those get anything they want when they want it 2- second level are those who established a relashi ship but don’t escalate to level one. They can get the BLNR, HULK, JC.....etc but not the ss Daytona or sky dwellers 3- the one who wait! And they can only get DJ or if lucky get a piece that was offered for o one of the two above levels and didn’t find takers Might be pessimistic but that’s been my experience. Establishing a relashinship got me the subC, hulk, blnr, JC with real nice discounts but I guess I’m not at the ss Daytona and skyD level yet

As a follow up, appears that most ADs in the tri-state area aren't willing to put a new potential customer on their wait lists :/.
Will likely try ADs in some distant states next. If that fails, I've had my eye on a couple other models. Would likely try to zero in on a helpful AD and began a relationship. |
