How long did you wait before you got "the call"

[whalerguy]

Just wondering. I am in no hurry, so I won't go grey market. But I am looking at a new green bezeled sub to add to the collection. I have had a GMT II for years, and recently picked up a Tudor BB Blue (rose logo). I put my name in to a local AD that my GMT actually came from years ago. Don't have a "relationship" with them other than that due to distance from where I live. But I wanted to get a feel for the real wait times people are seeing.

Thanks

That is a popular one. It might take longer then other models. I would say about 6 months or sooner if you’re lucky!cal your AD once a month for a friendly chat!

This seems like a short wait. You have a good relationship with your AD?

1 day for a black dial Daytona right at the start of the pandemic just before everything shut down. No prior purchase history, my local AD out here in middle America.

I don't expect I'll ever be able to replicate that kind of "right place at the right time" any time in the future.

I waited less than a year for my JC Deep Blue which arrived in 2016, in 2017 I waited about a year for my white dial Daytona ceramic. You my friend set the best wait time ever for a Daytona C! Should be in the record books...

I wanted the 124060 and it took about 2 weeks or so.

same, but I showed up at my AD on September 1st soon after the AD opened and I was able to secure their first submariner delivered three weeks later. But right now, it's likely too late, OP's AD probably has a long list of customers waiting for their call.

I've just recently been 'added to the list'...so at about one week I cannot even hazard a real guess.

I'm looking at either a Explorer II w/ white dial, a Submariner with date, or a GMT II blue/black bezel.

This is a spaghetti drawing of wait times/ relationship building/ waiting. I'm in zero rush though.

Put name in for Daytona 3 years ago...got SubC date 2.5 years ago the weekend I wanted it...still waiting for Daytona and have also shown strong interest for GMT...no hope at this point for anything

I wait 22 days to get my 126610lv

Put a deposit on a new release OP for the wife and asked for consideration on a BLRO. One week later got the call for it. I'm sure this is no the norm but it happened.

Hulk zero wait, Pepsi ~4 months, 116500 white < 6 months? 116500 black 2 years

[DCheeta]

I waited about 6 months for a 116500 Black, and about three weeks for a 124060 Sub.

All of my other watches involved no waiting at all. The glory days.

[alphadweller]

I waited 9 hours and 12 minutes.

[jimcameron]

I have never waited. There are too many great watches available.

[Aterth]

I waited for one month and two weeks when I was about to get my Submariner

[Nkun]

Waited two months for my GMT

[jzra]

2 years for Pepsi and 2.2 years for Batman (both current version).

I think you’re a bit off in the new Batman. It came out in March of 2019 so it can’t be 2.2 years wait

[whalerguy]

Other than the fact my GMT II was originally purchased there years ago, no long standing relationship. I am around 90 miles away, so it's not easy to regularly shop there. Bummer. well, we will see. I want to say it's been a month.

Call to Ad 2 weeks ago and put my name for 2 models. Still waiting...

[Todd Turbo S]

I waited just under a week, but I have a 24 year relationship and pretty solid purchase history with this AD. I will say this, since the Sport SS market has heated up on almost their entire lineup, this is by far the shortest time I’ve had to wait for a requested watch. Maybe Rolex is producing more in this model?

Approx 3.5 months for my sub I picked up in Feb. 2020.
