Hello, I'm new here. It's a special event next year (14 months away) and I would like to get a Rolex. I am female, small of build and work in a very non-flashy profession. I'm not a luxury buyer in general. I like well-made, unfussy things that are built to last a lifetime.

I am drawn to the Oyster Perpetual 28mm as the simplest, smallest, and yes, cheapest Rolex - though even if it wasn't, there is something very pleasing and pure about how plain it is (IMO). I'm not fussed about the dial colour, I like them all.

I approached a local AD. They were nice but immediately told me I wouldn't get an OP, even 28mm, as they are far too popular. They advised I could get a Lady Datejust within the timeframe and put me down for one.

But, I don't really want a Lady Datejust, I want an OP. And I don't want to spend £1200 more on a watch I don't like as much They suggested that they prioritise existing customers "or those who intend to become customers" - is that a veiled way of telling me I need to buy other stuff to have a chance of being offered an OP? I know it happens for the high-demand watches, but I guess I wasn't expecting all that business for a little ladies size basic Rolex.

I then wandered into Goldsmiths at the Trafford Centre on the off chance. They were much more straightforward, said it should be fine to get an OP 28mm within 14 months, sat me down and registered my details and preferences, let me try some on and take photos, and told me they'd be in touch when they had a delivery that matched. Generally it was all a lot more like my usual experience of buying things in shops.

Now I'm confused as to who is right and whether I'm likely to get this watch. I don't want to spend a year hoping and it never happen. Hence... this post.

TL;DR - how likely is it to get an OP 28mm as a brand new customer in the UK within the next year?
