So riddle me this. If there's suddenly a stock of SS sports watches available to fill the display cases of ADs around the world on a "display only, not for sale" basis, I'm assuming they're coming from Rolex because the dealers are going to turn over their saleable stock immediately.
Hmmmm, it almost seems as though Rolex has a large stock of these watches sitting around or something. Puzzling.
I think your dealer is full of crap, or things are very different in the UK than they are in the USA. I ordered a GMTII BLRO, supposedly one of the hardest to get, and got a call that it was in about 5 weeks later. I am on good terms with my dealer and have purchased from them previously, so I am sure this helped.
Nothing in my AD's window when I was there the other day, maybe it is just a few select stores that have these mystical watches 😗
From an AD, I’d like to call it “my” AD now.
Is that a 16800?
What puzzles me about Rolex is why anyone would willingly wait for months - and sometimes years - to overpay for a mid-tier mass produced Swiss luxury watch. Let’s face it: There are plenty of available brands that equal Rolex in quality (Omega being one of them) and other brands that are, quite frankly, better. The difference is that most of those brands are readily available. The notion that Rolex has a waiting list because it can’t produce enough watches to keep up with demand is simply ridiculous. That being said, I give Rolex a lot of credit for their marketing which has made the brand one of the most recognized names worldwide.
