Wait time for New Subs

Happy Holidays!

I am interested in purchasing one of the new submariners (black sub date or Cermit). I am curious about recent successes/wait times? I have a decent relationship and purchase history with my AD.

Thanks

Sounds like you should ask your AD.

They seem to be rolling in fairly regularly FWIW.

I got mine about 2 weeks after it’s release.

Really? What do you consider "relatively easy?" Any anecdotal examples?

From everything I'm reading on this forum and elsewhere, it's still very difficult to get SS Sub Dates, especially the LV. I've also read that for every four Sub LNs an AD gets, it gets one LV.

It honestly totally depends on the dealer. I have a good relationship with my dealer, and I've spent a decent amount of money, but I'm not the biggest fish in the sea by far. Still, they invited me to the trunk show for the new models and I could buy whatever I wanted right away, so I ended up with 5 watches, including the Cermit and the new TT blue Sub. They don't play too many games, and value my business (even if it's not crazy amounts), but each dealer is different.

With the scarcity of inventory and the suspicion of trans shipping, you were able to purchase five Rolex watches at one event? If they had dozens of clients, did they offer that same privilege to everyone? Most of us will have zero chance of that occurring.
Next time, take pre-orders.

If you purchased your other pieces there, I think you’ll get it in just a few weeks.

There are so many variables only God really knows lol. Go into your AD and be honest with them though, go in a couple times and express interest every time.

Cermit is going to be a little harder. I wanted the Blusey. I texted AD and It appeared like magic one hour later.

After being told by several ADs that they were no longer putting people on waiting lists, my oldest, original dealer had one in my hand in a week.
