2 years is just impossible....the Smurf Sub is readily available at bigger ADs...

Ernest Jones

Google Rolexroz to find out where he hangs out, he will have one with you next day after payment is received. UK watch too.

mic6 · 20 April 2009, 04:49 AM

every dealer in my city has at least five of them and they offer a 20 % off

mck22 · 20 April 2009, 04:50 AM

My ad had three just the other day

ronin7 · 20 April 2009, 04:56 AM

thanks guys.had a feeling she was misinformed to put it nicely,she showed me the register that had had the details of the unfortunate souls who will be waiting an eternity for their subs.

rajurama · 20 April 2009, 04:58 AM

its more like a practical joke!

rustedmetal · 20 April 2009, 05:08 AM

The lies you get from AD's IS the reason I dislike going to, much less purchasing from an AD. I'd rather buy from a trusted seller; who gives me honest answers.

dlite1873 · 20 April 2009, 05:30 AM

Come to Glasgow, there's plenty here

jay_kay · 20 April 2009, 07:31 AM

Goldsmiths at Liverpool 1 and David M Robinson had one each on Saturday. £3980 RRP.

Where in Glasgow?

coddger · 20 April 2009, 07:54 AM

diablojota · 20 April 2009, 08:06 AM

I have not visited an AD that has not had a sub in stock. Waiting list my a$$. Sounds like you should seek another AD to buy from.

paulgjohnston · 20 April 2009, 08:06 AM

I have been looking in all of the major high street shops in Glasgow city centre and there are none that I am aware of......I have been told by a couple of them that there are waiting lists for these......

Leasky · 20 April 2009, 08:23 AM

Jamieson and Carry (142 Union St, Aberdeen - 01224 641219) had one in their window yesterday morning and I understand that Steven Henderson (1 Union Street, Dundee - 01382 221339) carry an extensive used stock.

I have had dealing with both places and Phillip Carry is about the best guy to deal with at Jamieson and Carry and Steven Henderson himself is the only person I would deal with from his place.

Good luck.

Colin.

The GMT Master · 20 April 2009, 08:28 AM

My local one has a Sub ND in the window, and a Sub Date and LV coming in (although they may be spoken for). Two years is frankly ridiculous, and I'd definitely be looking elsewhere. Although they don't hang around for long, there are plenty going into windows on a regular basis.

biggums · 20 April 2009, 08:35 AM

In this poor world economy I see more Rolex's than ever everywhere!

Hey who listens to salesmen anyway?

Very easy to source......A few years ago, they were hard to source when Rolex was rationalising production facilities. But very easy now.

sea-dweller · 21 April 2009, 02:17 AM

This a probably a ploy by the AD to position the Sub Date as being 'hard to get' and 'rare', so that they can justify not giving you any discount at all.

I'd say, move on to another AD, or buy from a respected seller here on TRF.
