But AD's don't know what they are getting from Rolex in advance, so how can he say he is getting that model?
Or are you getting the 3015 Explorer model?

Anyway, sound like exciting times

My AD gets told about 5 days before shipment and today even had a call saying the black sub date was being swapped for a green one and the SD4k on the pre manifest was not coming but a new 2016 Exp 1 was.

Congrats mate, it's a lovely watch.

I walked out on purchasing it yesterday (but that's another sorry)

Steve guess it may be region dependant but I know from my experience in the UK I've had prior notice from an AD on my watch coming in.

And so it came to pass
Picked up Friday (today) as promised by the AD after the shipment arrived. Perfect watch for me. Tried many other Rolex, Omega, Tudor etc. but this is my final purchase and my daily.

My AD also has told me that he knows what is coming in.

Hey OP, big congrats. It is a beautiful watch.
