I'll say that to me, the AD's answer about the computer system has a strong odor that one usually associates with stockyards...

My AD had one last year when I dropped by... then this year when I was in the market, no one has it in stock (3 different ADs in 3 different cities) so I just saved a WHOLE BUNCH of money and got one used from TRF.

OP, I hope one turns up for you soon and they do seem to be readily available in the US.

I've never had to put a deposit down on a watch before, but I hope if you decide to get your money back and search elsewhere, everything works out.

My AD told me 6 weeks, but it arrived in 8 days. That was about 4 weeks ago.

That is a true statement. RUSA switched to Microsoft dynamics in late February and we're still trying to recover. Parts have been a nightmare and watch deliveries have been affected as well. Went from every two weeks for us to every 2-4 weeks with no advance notice.

Still comes as a surprise to me that people struggle to find a BLNR when I can't wait to get shot of mine.

Kiknchikin · 31 May 2017, 12:56 PM

At least that makes me feel a little better. Still seems like it's been a long time though.

That's a bummer. Shouldn't be much longer. I've seen several in AD cases lately. Good choice. It's a beauty

Been messed about by 'tyre kickers' so I'm going to wait until I get back to the UK

Good plan. Shame you don't bond with it.
I'm the opposite, of all the Rolex I've owned, its by far my favourite.

Just got the call from the AD that it just came in. Almost 2 months to the day.

Lex_luthor · 8 June 2017, 08:35 AM

Got the call for mine last week in the in the uk after about 2 months. Initially the ad said 6 so that was a nice surprise.

My ad told me two months max, I called in a week and they said they'll check again and the next day they told me that there's one available. Makes me think there's no wait at all.
