As you guys know Im waiting for my SS Sub Date and Im going nuts

, My AD told my wife the most to wait is 2 months. March 1st will be 2 months, any of you guys/gals waited that long?

10 more days seems like a month.... an Im getting restless.

Tombstone · 18 February 2007, 07:47 PM

Seem long sorry, I hate to wait as well.

Erix · 18 February 2007, 07:58 PM

Yeah ..seems long. I am lucky to have more then one AD in my town.
The first AD said the words "Waiting list" so I went to another and walked out with my Sub date.

tonelar · 18 February 2007, 08:17 PM

That's pretty odd for a SS Subdate... usually the ADs around here have at least one on display each time I drop in.

Must be a popular watch in NY.

greenfan · 18 February 2007, 08:26 PM

I had to wait about a month for my GMT.....

Uncle-AJ · 18 February 2007, 08:29 PM

I put my name down for a SS Daytona about four years ago and I'm still waiting.

Call me crazy but... it would seem prudent for Rolex to respond to this ongoing and growing gap in supply and bolster their production of the SS Daytona. They certainly have the resources to do so. A watch not sold is money lost, right?

mike · 18 February 2007, 08:39 PM

A year and a half for the SS Daytona, and four months for the first LV.

Sounds like the last 10 days of my 1st pregnancy!

I didn't have to special order my watch, but I new I was getting it in July of '06 and it took until January of '07 to find the right one and get it on my wrist.

Hope your wait is over soon.

nko51 · 19 February 2007, 01:26 AM

I first fell in love with Rolex's when I was a young man. It took 27 years after that to purchase my first one.

JJ Irani · 19 February 2007, 05:29 AM

When I went in to buy my SS Sub-date last year, my AD laid out FIVE pieces for me.

"Take your pic, JJ," he said....and don't rush over it!!

Welshwatchman · 19 February 2007, 05:31 AM

I waited 24 years until I could afford one.

Then I bought loads of them.

Yes, but did you start wanting one of these a long time ago (like me), or did the desire just hit you at a particular moment and you ordered and the above is how long it took for them to arrive?

I know the initial post was about waiting after the watch had been ordered, but it soon became "how long have you waited before actually BUYING one?"

tag_addict · 19 February 2007, 06:19 AM

I don't wait for anything :)
Those are wait times via shipping and or jeweller getting it from the safe.
The only watches I can think of waiting for (years) and still waiting for are

Orange hand
Red Sub
PP Chrono
Nautilus
Daytona WG

Other than that if I really wanted a watch id buy it.

astcell · 19 February 2007, 08:33 AM

Three weeks for the TT GMT II but I did not order it, I just checked back.

ROLEX4EvEr · 19 February 2007, 11:14 AM

Well I decied I will call tomorrow (Maui time), an ask him whats going on. I dont think a SS Sub will take that long. Im already planning on my next Rolex (WG DD).

Launch Mini · 19 February 2007, 12:16 PM

I think it was about 7 months for my Pam 98.
Worth the wait.

Treat yourself to a trip to Singapore and buy it the day you land. I bought my Rolex there and they had multiples of every model. Beautiful place to see too!!
