How long were you on the waitlist?

Went to an AD to try and pick up a watch to celebrate these momentous occasions and was told there was no list and they only allocated pieces to VIP clients. I spoke with the salesperson for a while, explained the situation, showed them I was a collector and not interested in flipping, how I wanted to buy a watch to pass down to my kid. After talking for about an hour the SA asked me what model I was looking for, and they'd put me on the "list", I told them any variation sub, or any variation GMT. Seemed genuine, but I haven't heard anything from them. I stop in every now and then, but still crickets, and this is at one of the biggest AD in New York. I thought maybe explaining myself with the kid and getting married they might take sympathy and throw me a bone, but alas I do not spend hundreds of thousands at their store so I'm not important enough. Subs are selling almost at retail through greys so I've been looking, but I really have my heart set on a 126610LV, but can't bring myself to spend 16k on one, especially since the market has been all over the place recently.

I've done literally the same thing, the only exception is I have spending history (engagement ring) with the AD I am pursuing for a Sub Date.

Current wait time 2 months. I don't know how you guys can wait for 15 months and not go grey.

I think by June/July I'll get a bit more pushy and if I feel like I won't get the watch, I'll just go grey.
