Wait time on new Explorer 124270?

What were your experiences? Currently on list at two ADs not too far from me since oct. No purchase history but did establish some good rapport.

Waiting since September, no prior spend, relying on one AD at the moment. I've been told I will definitely get a watch...

Always depends on the AD and your relationship. I know that my AD has only received one since the release. And there are some other local clients who are asking about it as well.

I waited from announcement day to August, so 4 months. Believe me when I say that I was shocked when I was contacted.

4.5 months. Made myself crazy counting the days, too, hopefully you’re not as neurotic as I am! No purchase history, and I checked in every month or so (as they recommended). Good luck!

Just received one. Expressed interest to the AD the day after it was released.
9 Months.

One GA-based member said something in a thread last week about his AD having one in the case, up for grabs. While I'm sure that one is long gone, it does suggest that there are not lengthy waiting lists for this reference, and people aren't calling every dealer in a 200 mile radius in order to express interest in one.

I have been told 5 years by an AD in the UK, others no longer taking names...

Two ADs with purchase history, expressed interest at announcement. Still waiting. Going to start contacting new ADs to see if I can work with someone.

Like many of the responses on other threads it seems to be quite varied but some do just get lucky. I spoke to an AD I’ve used previously around 5 years ago (only 1 Rolex and 1 Tudor) and they called me 3 day’s after I enquired to say they had just received one SS and one two-tone! Needless to say I asked for it to be reserved and I’m picking it up tomorrow… just fortunate timing I think. I was expecting a few months at least.
