Most common/Easiest to obtain
TLDR - been on the waiting list for SkyD Blue 2yrs and BLNR for 1yr.
Seems impossible to obtain. What models are fairly easy to obtain? Sports wise? I already have a Datejust II Thanks |

They’re all easy to obtain and very common. The real question is how much are you prepared to pay...

Beyond envious!
Mil and Air King are basic models? :/ I was hoping something a little more professional would be easier. |

Ya know, and I'll probably catch some sh*t for this, but life is too short to wait for a watch. Maybe its time to look at a different brand and put some enjoyment on your wrist now. If you want to stay in the Rolex family then check out Tudor. If you're willing to expand past Rolex, there are many outstanding timepieces to explore. Quite frankly, my Rolexes don't provide me any more enjoyment on my wrist than my Tudors or watches from other brands.

I tend to agree with you. Lots of great watches. My Rolex watches are nice but with all the BS you have to deal with i lost interest. Reading threads of people trying to wine and dine an AD is ridiculous. Then seeing the grey market price just turns me off from the brand completely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The situation in the UK seems to be worse than it is in the states, but the wait for a 114060 should not be that long.

YM40 should be relatively easy to get, if you are flying into the UAE its highly likely you can just walk in and walk out with one. The SeaDweller not so much Im afraid, same wait situation. In the UK its another story, perhaps you might want to look at in mainland EU :) |

Try a different AD, lots of different styles, and ways that various AD's "play the game"
or Buy some PM Rolex watches, or other brands from the AD (its based on $ spent, not time waited) or just look for a different brand that you like or just buy one at market price and enjoy it

If you like the YM I would highly recommend looking at the 16622, platinum dial; I like it better than the 116622 and it costs a lot less.

I had a really cute picture with my son wearing it. Couldn’t find it here is a generic rolex link. Basic differences between 116622 and 16622 is basically the clasp is better on the newer, slightly different bracelet iirc and the PT dials are nicer on 16622.
