Icon5 Sub appeal
I'm looking for a Sub Date (though would love no date if available) in Ireland. Anyone know what the average wait time is these days please?

No such thing exists. Go to an AD and ask them and they will give you a vague answer because that is all there is unless you go gray. Its very possible to get a sub with little premium from a trusted seller. I don't mean to come across as rude - its just not a question that has an answer.

Looking up what appears to be a trusted seller here in Ireland sees a markup of €3550. Thank you for your reply, not rude at all

Thank you for the reply. A trusted seller that seems good is coming in about 34% extra. Price is €14,000, AD currently €10,450 in Ireland.

Your reply is not rude at all, thanks for the input

what's your point? USD is still less than euros.. that means 12k USD would be ~11k euros whereas the OP posted a watch much higher than that

Dude, US market is much more competitive and prices are generally lower than elsewhere in the world like it is for basically anything else in the World.

Relax. Do the conversion. Then, if you really care, search TRF trusted sellers. It’s a big world out there. .
