How long were in you in the waitlist for sports model?

[andyvn579]

Sub - 3 weeks. But that back in the end of last year

[SilverJackHammer]

Hulk -one month, about a month ago now. Seattle area AD.

[Blueline226]

Nine months on a DaytonaC (purchased 5/19) with no prior relationship. However, we definitely have one now.

[Yobber76]

About 3 weeks for a 116610LN in March of this year. Had previous buy with this AD.

[danson]

I got on a list 5 minutes after official release of Batgirl. They told now end if 2022

Not bad at all here in Southern California for a Polar Explorer II 216570. My first Rolex (and my first post on TRF).

Inquired with several ADs and came away with a Polar in 3 weeks. In that time I was offered a black one too.

Also saw 2 blue dial + green crystal Milgauss at two different ADs within 1 week of each other. YM is abundant in my area as well as Air King and somewhat Explorer I as well.

About 6 months ago, a friend waited about 3 months for a black sub.

[RaceDoc11]

I walked in to the AD I had a deposit with on a SkD asking for 2 tone CHNR. I got it a week later.

Significant multi watch purchase history here including multiple Rolex and Tudor watches and I can't get on any lists in Vancouver to save my life. I've stopped trying and am buying other watch brands and enjoying my collection.

[fett1972]

Sub Date - walked into AD and purchased same day in Late October 18

116519 WG Daytona - waited 3 weeks. Was informed it was available late November 18. I collected mid December 18

SS Daytona White Dial - 2 weeks. Purchased early January 19

All from same AD for retail. No prior purchase history

I got lucky

[teck21]

Original poster has said it will be his first (watch), presumably Rolex luxury watch.

Zero purchase history.

As someone who has more than a passing familiarity with how ADs do their business in this part of the world, I will go so far as to say those of you who have given anything anywhere close to a timeframe as to receiving a coveted model without any purchase history/ massive bundling is not in East Asia / Singapore.

Ex Japan, which is newly poor :)

[Nikrnic]

No wait for my SubC, that was in nov. '17
1 week for my Blnr, that was in oct. '18. I didn't ask for one, my AD offered it as a possibility when l told him l was thinking of buying an older Pepsi

I decided to call another AD today and this one was actually willing to take names for a list. Daytona, Batman & Pepsi have lists so long that they can't even say if you'll get filled in 2 years.

The polar 216570 was an estimated 8 months - 1 year. To me this sounds crazy. I understand the highly desirable pieces that have always had exclusivity, like the Daytona, but a GMT taking 2 years? Whaaaat? No.

I put my name on the 216570 so we'll see, I'll post when/if I get the call.

No wait, it was there when I walked in, both my GMT(Pepsi) and my Explorer

bought my GMT 24 years ago from an AD in Exton, my Explorer 2 from Murphy Jewelers in Hamburg, Pa last year.

[brigadoonb]

4 watches - 5 AD's - over a year wait already. I talk to the AD's probably once every 3-5 weeks.....still nothing. :(

One AD told me this week.....all of the list watches have already been allocated for the rest of 2019. Very disappointing.

[TswaneNguni]

Black SkyD .. 4 weeks
BLNR and SD43 immediately.Known AD
SubC and Polar walk in at unknown ADs
Blue DJ41 Jubilee Fluted ,around 5 weeks.

[ttman333]

2 months for SD43 but could have been quicker - IT issues don't ask

[jrs146]

I've had various wait times. I have not really kept track but they have not been so long that I've gotten upset. They're just watches.

[AJV_36]

No purchase history they didn’t give me time of day, was on “ list for two months “ with nothing and not looking promising, friends knew a women who worked for AD and called her and same day she called me back and said they had my sub with date There was one a head of me they called him he passed came to me. Absolutely love my sub

Bought my 114060 in 2016. It was sitting in the case next to the sub date. Man the good ole days. Walked in the ad bought the watch I wanted and went home happy. No making constant visits to the ad just to build a fake relationship to buy a watch you will never see.

[pickettt]

Never. I don't wait in long lines to spend my money.

[Rosex]

If they have it they will sell it.

Max wait was over one year. Minimum was walking in and buying within 5 minutes. Ironically I have had more luck with ADs that don't know me. They normally the smaller tourists area dealers.

[vesnyder]

I was on the wait list for the TT Rose Gold GMT II for less than a month. I am still in the process of moving money around and trying to afford it! Thought it would be several months at least reading the availability and seeing the grey market price difference. Can't pass this up!

[M45]

Seven and a half weeks for my 114060.
