UK Submariner Availability

Blimey it does appear to be quite a long wait to get my hands on a steel sub. Goldsmiths in Chelmsford said there is over ten people on the waiting list but they only get one in every 5 months.

Watches of switzerland in Royal exchange said 8 months to a year.

Mappin and webb said 3-6 months with 36 people already on the list so I am guessing they get a steady stream supplied.

Anyone had any luck and how long have you waited on a list to receive yours?

The picking is indeed slim. I've found similar

But I did get one in the end by repeatedly cold calling

Wow, even the Sub is hard to find in the UK? That's a bummer.

Try the Watch Gallery-Covent Garden. I purchased one there on Saturday evening just before closing time. The sales assistant told me one had been reserved for collection that day but not collected, so mine if a wanted it.
