New Submariner
Well, I’ve been waiting for an Air King for 11 months. I saw an instagram post from Rolex advertising the submariner, so I asked my AD out of curiosity if a submariner is a shorter wait than an Air King. She texted back saying that they had someone back out of the submariner and I could buy it since they felt bad the Air King has taken so long. She said that they have considerable interest in the submariner.
So I waited 2 hours for a submariner. Unbelievable. I like collecting classic watches, so the submariner is still a great choice and most people would like it more than the Air King. If someone would’ve told me a year ago I would’ve waited this long for an Air King but could get a submariner, wouldn’t have believed it. |

What great luck! Subs are awesome. Try some different ADs if you are still interested in an Airking. Sounds like your original AD dropped the ball, that’s why they offered you a Sub.

Congrats! You are better off with the Sub :)
I think many people have been waiting for subs with the intent of a quick flip… now that seems to be changing and making more Subs available for people who actually want them :) |
