I'm looking to purchase my first Rolex, a new Sub. I called a local Rolex dealer and they said they pretty much have all the Rolex' in stock except the Sub. Said its on "backorder." :( Not sure if this is usual but is this the norm out there? I'd like to deal with this store, not sure how many of you purchase a Rolex online or if it can even be done. Was just wondering if they are out of Sub because its so popular, are they changing the watch anytime soon and just letting what they have run out? Thanks for your help. Excellent site.

No they are available...Where you live? Try another AD!

Good luck!

It happens, did they say how long it would take to get one in? If you dead set on waiting to get one from them I can assure you the wait will be worth it.

If your not willing to wait there are always other ADs, or you could buy one from one of the trusted sellers on this forum.

Who is a "trusted seller" on this forum? I'd explore that perhaps.

DavidSW....No worries buy with complete confidence!!

gslaskin · 18 January 2012, 11:04 AM

There are no Subs in my area either. I was also travelling last week and Amsterdam seemed to be out of them as well.

If you go AD, try Lee Perla in Hackensack. Just saw a 14060M and a 116610LN there last Friday.

Here too. Got my 116610LV there, but not sure if I saw the LN there.

While the AD you visited didn't have one, Subs are not in short supply. You are withn easy reach of quite a few ADs or you can find one right here, right now, in the For Sale section.

liptonnr · 18 January 2012, 11:51 AM

Davidsw gets my trusted seller vote but there are many others! Check them out!

mtnbiker5 · 18 January 2012, 01:00 PM

What/where is Davidsw?

COBill · 18 January 2012, 01:13 PM

It is normal; it takes a while for Rolex to refill the supply chain after Christmas.

Subs are not hard to find, but in general the ones for sale now arrived at ADs last fall or earlier.

DavidSW is awesome. No worries at all.

GradyPhilpott · 18 January 2012, 03:04 PM

Back in November, my AD told me that there would be a shortage of SS Subs and that this word had come down from Rolex USA.

I was told this by the owner, who is a stand-up guy.

When I ordered my 14060M on the same date, it took a full month for it to come in.

I suspect that the popularity of the Sub combined with the Christmas season may have put a squeeze on the supply chain.

Jeesh,

Make you way over the the classified section on this site and take a look around, no need to pay full retail and taxes on your sub.

Plus, you are in Northern NJ there must be 1,000 subs within a 1 hour drive-

Good luck

Oyster Al · 19 January 2012, 04:07 AM

.........seriously DavidSW seems to sell lots of this model. i personally sold him my old sub and bought the new.

Lion · 19 January 2012, 04:14 AM

You have many resources to choose from just do a little research. What kind of mountain bike do you have ???

lady yachtmaster · 19 January 2012, 04:36 AM

If you are looking for another AD to try in New Jersey, I can highly recommend Leonardo Jewelers in Red Bank. Speak to Paul, he is a great guy and you will definitely enjoy the customer service. You can call him at 732-747-7880. Hope this helps.

Zdenek · 19 January 2012, 04:38 AM

Maybe the absence of SUBs on the market now is due to recent Christmas. When I bought my ceramic SUB LN a week before the Christmas I grabbed the last piece of that kind in my AD. Yes, they had Sub no date and SUB cer. LV. The black is apparently more in demand.
I wish you good luck in the hunt!

TSW · 19 January 2012, 04:58 AM

Another vote for David!

tkerrmd · 19 January 2012, 05:16 AM

tell them to get one in for you the journey is half the fun, you can wait! Rolex has plenty!
