No difference where I live. Even if you remove the flippers from the list, it's still a heck of a long list.

My usual AD came through for me so maybe it was good advice regardless, but Rolex centralisation was very likely a myth. Last edited by rgwarden; 24 September 2022 at 05:52 AM.. Reason: Incorrect |

Rolex cannot legally hold such information, besides which, they don't care. A retail chain like WOS? Absolutely. And it's legal. |

I didn’t realise Mappin & Webb were linked to WOS so my experience of being told not to bother registering interest with both adds up. I clearly misunderstood him and thought he meant Rolex would know of both registrations.

Currently trying to obtain an OP 36mm black dial for my wife but that seems to be a more difficult acquisition that some of the more popular sport models. |

Hello, say if you put your name down for a specific model and put on the list.
You get the call in 5 years time. So you have the pay the price of the year you got the call ? What if you expressed interest in a model that is not in the 2022 catalog ? how does the AD know the price to charge ?

Some dealers are getting more watches. They might be expanding their shops or are being treated more favorably by Rolex. Getting on a list now and getting a choice piece quickly has been reported here. Some dealers have deep request lists but they are getting through them. Plenty of folks are getting and have received their Rolex watches without any purchase history. Your mileage will likely vary based on location.

Nope, no change at all and even start thinking it's getting worse.
On waiting list for a explorer 1. Was told it should be relatively easy to get, 6 months later nothing...I got my pepsi from this AD last year. Don't know why they just don't want to sell me the explorer. |

Recent visits and enquires in GTA (Canada) the lists for top models like the BLNR and above are still 100’s deep.. heard this from two separate ADs. Third not even taking names for wish lists.

The demand is as high as it ever was
Only difference now is the people buying the watches are wearing them rather than flipping them

Wow.. ok.. yes I seen this myself. I visited the Dubai airport. They had more Rolexes there than I seen in all the others U have visited in 9 other countries combined.
Ok each model will have different wait lists because the demand is scewed on some models over others. Be more fortunate to be after a model that is low in demand. At one stage I saw in a store there was a green sapphire crystal the shape of the Rolex crown the size of a paperweight. From what I was told this would only be offered to entities who they sponsored at Baselworld at the time. So the Trinity collection is Rolex, AP and Patek.

yeah don't try my city :(
yes, we have more empty spaces than filled ones. how do you advertise a brand when you have 4 to 5 watches in the shop ?
The ADs stock 8+ other brands, and the other brands have at least 50% capacity of watch slots filled. Like I advised in another post. Our Casino ... 2 filled slots with Rolex, the store is about a 450 square yards of boutique, only for Rolex, every slot empty, except the 2 at the front window. You have at least 5000 people walking past there on a daily basis it's a Casino haha... Still, there are many traits and features of my city that I am eternally blessed and privileged to live in. The more I learn about Rolex, and what time pieces you are proud to show, the more it all delights me over the majority of the other brands.

Tried to register at an AD here in the UK for a Batman, they said they had to close the list on all GMT variants due to the waiting times being so long. Managed to get registered for a blue DJ41 and they reckon it will be an 18 month wait, they have closed the list on the Wimbledon variant DJ and will close the green face one soon.
