Hi Everybody,

A few months ago, I asked the Forum to help me decide on a new Rolex because I hit a goal that I had set for myself.

I was thrilled that so many people put in their .02 and even offered some suggestions that I hadn't considered.

I've made my decision - I'm going with a Ceramic Sub Date.

Here's the pisser..... A month ago, my AD had one in the case and three in the safe. Went to pull the trigger the other day and you guessed it.... NOTHING!

Oh well, I'll need to wait a few weeks. Same thing happened with the same AD 5 years ago with my Expy II.

In some ways, it almost seems as if this short wait was meant to be.

Photos will follow as soon as I get the new prize.

Maybe it's not meant to be? I usually take things like this as a sign. What other piece did you have in mind?

MitchSteel · 28 September 2013, 01:40 PM

Don't settle for anything other than what you really want.It'll happen.Good luck

Looking toward to your wrist shot!

A few more weeks isn't bad considering it will last the rest of your life.
Congrats!

I don't know if it will work . I waited and waited for sd to come in to the AD for over a month. I called rolex to see if they could help. I just told them I waited this long can you tell me when this AD will get SD in ? They said they will look into it. 4 days later AD called SD was in. I never told the AD I called .

captkevin · 28 September 2013, 11:21 PM

Buy one on here today and you will have it tomorrow.

azguy · 29 September 2013, 12:00 AM

I'm in Arizona, what AD..?

I'd be shocked if Hamra or Robert Wesley didn't have a SubC, especially Hamra..

Sorry you have to wait, Darren, heres a pic in the meantime.

mruhland31 · 30 September 2013, 01:01 AM

I have a great AD is you need a referral please let me know. I bought my Sub C from them and not only did I get a great deal but they made the experience of buying my first Rolex something I will never forget. Just shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Angrypuppy · 30 September 2013, 01:06 AM

Hang in there. Looking forward to pics.

aaron123 · 30 September 2013, 01:59 AM

After buying from trusted sellers on here I don't think I could ever buy from an AD again. You can get almost anything you want delivered the your door next day and not deal with the bulls**t that goes with an AD.

It all depends....if you got a good AD and the price out the door with tax is the same or better as here on TRF it's going to be hard not buy from somebody you established a good business relationship with.
The prices here are ok but a lot of times you can get better ones from an AD!

aaron123 · 30 September 2013, 03:03 AM

I guess it depends on the AD. I have tried for years to work good deals with the local ADs but come up short every time. With the minimal discounts given on sport models I can't beat the prices I have received from trusted sellers on here. I'll keep trying though!
