Bought two of these as a walk in, in two different ADs. They are easy to get for a reason: they look very good but cost much more than a regular sub.

I feel your pain.

In my neck of the woods, even PM professional models are impossible to come by in ADs these days, commanding a (small-ish) premium on the grey market.

I got mine within 4 days.....in 2019...

It mostly depends on where you are and maybe your purchase history with your AD?

I tried to get another one to trade my "old" model for the new one, no dice, can't get one.

General consensus is though, it's easier to get than it's two tone Rootbeer brother, or any other stainless steel sports model. Seeing though that they trade slightly above retail tells you that it will take a couple of months now to get one.

A four month wait for Blue rolesor sub. Had purchased previously from AD and had been introduced there by a friend. Another AD offering black rolesor sub was in touch after five months also bought from that AD previously.

Yet another AD in a large city on a walkin stated 2 year wait. My point is I guess its best to have some form of history with the AD. At least that has been my experience. Love the watch, so glad to have it. Enjoy your one when you get it. Have you placed a request yet?

It was in 2020, end of year for both. 1266613LB.



Liked it, bought it, got bored very quickly and sold it. Then thought I would miss it so I bought another, which stayed with me a few months.

Ultimately I knew why I didn’t like it and once I could materialize what was wrong with this watch, I sold it and bought a 126660D-Blue.

Root beer is nice but this has extra pizahzz. No regrets.

Very similar experience here. It was the colour of blue on the bezel that made me sell it after 2yrs.
