You can go to Alan Furman / Swiss Luxury and buy it now. Have you checked back with AD? Ask another dealer?

Not a particularly difficult watch to get. Nice looking. Good luck.

Welcome to TRF!

How long it takes often depends on the size of the AD outlet / store. Small stores tend to get fewer Rolex watches a year and get fresh stock every 3 months.

Also, sometimes, it can take a long time getting specific models of the Rolex sport's range. Unfortunately, the Rolex manufactory does not always deliver the watches that are ordered.

Had it been the SS Daytona, it can easily take 3 YEARS before you get it due to waiting lists.

I'd call your AD if I were you and hear what he says.

i would try another dealer,this is not a very hard watch to get.i see your from iowa,i'm sure there aren't to many ad's in your neck of the woods.call around to other ad's in nearby big cities and see what they have in stock.call chicago ad's since this is a big market and lots of ad's here,if they have it take a drive over here and you could save on sales tax by shipping it home.that move would pay for the fuel and then some.pm me if you want some numbers of ad's around here.

Rolex has an unuaual shippping program.

You can appreciate that if they are shipping a dozen or more Rolexes they have a relatively small package that is worth from a hundred grand up to a half millinon $'s USD.....or more.

My AD knows a couple of days out that there will be a shipment, but not what is in it, or what time it will arrive..

Seems like Christmas to me...but they are always frustrated by this..
