What Rolex SS professional models seem to be the most prevalent to come by at an Auth
Currently awaiting a Ref# 216570 Explorer II Polar and would like to hear others experiences for wait times when purchasing from authorized dealers.

I've only see Milgauss with blue dial and a steel yachtmaster with the old hands and a black dial Explorer 2.

Took about 3 months for my JC DSSD to arrive.

I put a deposit down on my paid half up front and completed the purchase for my JC DDDB 11 days later. The crazy thing was that another AD called me 3 days later to offer me the same watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

YM2 is perhaps the most common followed by the Explorer 2.
Explorer 2, Explorer, Air King have all been a rarer sight recently but I'm used to seeing at least one of the YM2 or Explorer 2 in the case or in the back. |

I have only ever seen one Air King in person and looking back I wish I would have purchased. The SA had me try it on, but I was looking for something else at the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

On my last visit to my Ad they had a black and white dial Explorer 2 in the show case. Had a Deep Sea black dial too. That was about 6 weeks ago.

The Exp 2 is not to hard to get from an AD. I was offered one about 2 months ago but I turned it down. Still waiting for the DaytonaC white dial which the AD promise me next year. I'm happy to say she hasn't let me down yet.

I see Yachtmasters I and II at many dealers. Watched a DSSD black being placed at my AD recently, my SA said they had no one waiting for that.

I saw two yachtmasters with the ice blue second hand in my AD two weeks ago when I got my explorer. Came back a week later to pick up a repair and they were still there. There was also a slightly smaller one. Funny because, imo, that’s the best looking yachtmaster.

That has been my experience too. There always seems to be 2-4 YMs in the case at all times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I ordered a DJ41, allocated piece a year ago paid out front in full (15% disc.) and was quoted 4 weeks. It took 4 weeks to the day.

AD usually has a Milgauss, Explorer I, DSSD, SD, and Air-King in the back.
I suspect they also have no-date Subs, but they only bring 'em out when they're certain someone is about to make a sizable purchase. I suppose that's speculation, though.

In the past 6 months I've been in ADs in 7 countries and all I saw in SS was 1 Black Deepsea (which I already have - rats!). Some TT and PM as well, but 1 SS. Rubbish.
