I have always heard left and right that SS sports models are impossible to get. And you know what ? I believed it. I was so indoctrinated in this 'you have to play the Rolex game' spiel that I wouldn't even dare to ask my AD if I could apply for the waiting list.

This April, a friend of mine turned 30 and wanted to buy a Sub for his b-day. I took this opportunity to accompany him to the AD and request alongside him a 126710BLNR for myself. The salesman politely said that I might have to wait more than a year for this specific model as the demand is so high. I specifically asked for the new oyster bracelet because if I end up waiting that long, I at least want to have the superior bracelet (sorry jubilee-fans).

Today, six weeks later, the Batman is in my hands, and I can't be happier. I don't know if it is luck or some other factors I don't know about, but I am very fortunate to have an AD that takes very good care of me. They were very polite and professional and I am very lucky and grateful.

To quote a Disney villain : 'I'll be returning, hungry for more..'

I hope you enjoyed reading about my little adventure and wish you all a beautiful weekend !

Did you have purchase history with this AD before? Or is this the first watch you purchased from them?

I did buy a new 114200 oyster perpetual in 2019 (at that time, nobody wanted them!) and a vintage JLC master calendar from their preowned department in 2020.

edit : Thank you all for your kind words
