New models at AD's (Timing)

So, once they announce any new models later this week, how long until any AD's will actually see them? Not that I expect to actually get anything. Just curious how long it takes for the actual product to filter to the actual stores.

Sept 2020 was the only time the models were available same day as announcement. I’d imagine this was due to it being pushed back from March 2020 given the pandemic. Amble time for production and distribution.

Historically, it take a couple months from announcement for steel models to trickle in and PM models much longer. Example, meteorite Daytona OF.

They are probably going to have a training the day before, then receive the merch on the morning, and sell them to the VVIPs during the day while pheasants and other birds will queue for hours just to get on a non sequential list.

If and a big if they really do release some 100% new models, if its like its been over the 15 years mainly cosmetic changes, then around 3-6 months before seen at ADs, if any 100% new models then only Rolex knows when..
