Icon4 New 41mm Cermit sub (126610LV) ....

I've put my name down for the new 41mm green dial "cermit" at my local AD. AD said they've only gotten 2 whole year (and sold them in hours).

Said it might be 3-6 months waittime. I'm perfectly fine with this as I have no rush (and really, a watch isn't the end of the world to justify the $18k grey market price..lol).

My 2nd choice is the new Exp 2 gmt (black dial) and AD said this might be in stock definitely before x-mas. They've received 3 since its mid year release and sold them all, as usual.

For those that have purchased this from AD, how long was the wait?

Cheers!

It doesn’t matter how long others have waited, it only matters how long your AD makes you wait.

Waited 4 to 5 months for mine but it is worth all the wait. Good luck OP!

About 7-8 months after getting a black Sub. It definitely is the piece that just impresses. Love the contrasting green bezel. Very much worth waiting for. The wait all really depends because even at the same AD, two customers can have different wait times.

If you're waiting at Devons it might be awhile. I have a family member waiting since spring of this year and no luck to date. With that said as many others have noted it does come down to a combination of your purchase history, reason, or if they simply like you more than customer B.

If they’ve only had 2 in the year, and are quoting you 3-6 months, then you must be literally next on the list (puzzling?)

Either that or the 3-6 months will come and go …..

Inquired when it launched. Received order confirmation a year later. Took 6 months before the text came through for pick up. No spending history. That’s my personal experience.

Huh? The 41mm only launched a year ago.

It will vary from AD to AD. I've put my name down with 2 ADs for an Explorer I. One AD is dubious as to whether I'll get it at all without spend history, the other says 2025 is the likely date of delivery.

I'm not going to pay over the odds for a current model, so I guess I'll be waiting a while. My other Rolex are 5 digit refs, and market price is market price on them - they arent making any more.

First saw it at an AD I had prior purchase history 11 months ago .. AD refused to put me on the list to date, so I guess 11 months and counting, can’t be bothered playing AD games and went grey instead.

Given the contradiction between these two words, I'd say it would be anybody's guess. Good luck,

Forgot to add that I initially inquired about the Hulk but got the Cermit instead

I put my name down the day it was announced and am still waiting, even with a lengthy purchase history with my AD. They told me they've only ever received 2 since the model was first announced, so no idea how much longer I'll have to wait.

I've purchased 3 other Rolexes from them in the meantime.

Took me about 8 months last year. It is my first and currently only Rolex and I wear it everyday. That being said, I am relatively young so I think the AD saw allocating it to me as an investment in future business. Its going to pay off for him because I can't imagine doing business with anyone else after scoring that watch for my first Rolex.

I waited 2 years for my LV. I started on the list when it was still the 116610LV and got the call a couple of months after the 126610LV was released - and bought that one.
