Similar situation w/ the purchase of my SD43. They did indeed have a list, but the day it came in the guy with said list was off. I had called the day before and talked to this lady for 15-20 min, all excited and eager. She remembered me, and instead of waiting for her coworker to come in the next day with the list, she called me! I honestly felt a little bad for whoever was 1st on the list but I got over it by telling myself they were probably just gonna flip it for a profit and it's my daily wear so it went to the right home.

Or they were going to give it to their idiot 18 year old. Better off on your wrist.

Congratulations! Don't let them fool you. They virtually always have a blnr in stock if it's the AD I think it is

That said, who cares it's awesome and they are generally going for MSRP still so no harm.

Thanks!

I would've thought the exact same thing as you if not for my own reliable source (who has procured me pieces before from ADs across the country) who told me it'd be a 1-2 month wait through him at this point as stock across the country was extremely limited (and apparently spoken for). I also didn't mention the guy who came in 10 mins after me who also asked for a "Batman" and was turned away.

But hey, if they were just trying to make me feel special....Mission: Accomplished. Lol.

Nice!

I'm still waiting. My AD has offered me a great price so I'm being patient. They've also ordered a super jubilee for me.

All is well that ends well

Great story, enjoy the new purchase - I had to just pull mine out the safe to check it / try it on

. Few days to go until anniversary unfortunately.

As for the wait list, I'm pretty sure the AD's have a handle on who is on the list for an instant profit & who is genuinely in love with the watch. If they felt you deserved it, happy days.

Great timing. Big congrats to you.

Re-reading this thread a year later. My how things have changed in the Rolex world. Same AD isn’t event taking any more names for the list and would have required full payment via bank draft.

Since then, the family’s grown up a bit:

Congrats. Wear it in good health. Definitely your lucky day.

ckwong · 24 July 2018, 04:59 AM

Avilanche · 24 July 2018, 05:03 AM

Congrats...wear that beauty in good health...i also realise from your avatar details that we have similar tastes...BLNR, Hulk, and the same TT D. The only other model that i have is the Bluesy, has it made you skip a beat??? :p

Hahaha. Nice collection! Well I have the new white OP39 and a fluted bezel datejust so maybe those two ALMOST add up to the bluesy...

Thanks! It’s a permanent piece now. Many have come and gone but I feel this and the hulk are going nowhere.

Congrats to the OP!

You will probably pay more than MSRP for a slightly used one. I don’t think I have seen one for sale under $10K on the forum in a long time. I’d just order one at an AD. It seems like they don’t take longer than a few months to get one.

Great collection! I purchased my BLNR on my birthday in 2016, I turned 35 and wanted this watch to celebrate. I remember stopping by an AD a couple of weeks prior to my birthday to make sure it was the watch I wanted, AD said they have someone coming for it, so I wasn't sure I was going to get it on my birthday. The day comes around and I call to see if they still have it, it's there, I show up ask for a discount, they agree to $8,450, then I tell the AD that it's also my birthday, he checks my ID and knocks it down another $100. I walked out of the dealer with the biggest smile on my face.

I'm so glad I got it when I did, I recently stopped by the AD and we laughed about the timing, because none of what happened that day would happen now.
