Should I yank my deposit?
So long story short I placed a deposit with an AD in my local area (about 30ish minutes outside Philadelphia, PA) for a white dial OP39.
I looked everywhere in the city and within reason outside the city but nobody had one in stock. I finally settled on an AD I felt comfortable with, and they told me it could be special ordered. That sounded fine to me so I placed the deposit to have the watch ordered. The woman who sold me the watch said it should arrive within 3-6 weeks but also mentioned it could take up to 6 months as Rolex won't inform them when it ships out and therefore they can't definitively say or know when it will arrive. This was in the middle of January of this year. Here we are at the end of June and I still haven't heard a peep from the AD. I get that my timing was horrible as both the AD and Rolex shut down for months due to COVID, but even with that said I'm starting to feel like this timeline is getting ridiculous. So I wanted to ask you all, who might be more experience or tuned in with Rolex and their supply chains, is it just me or is this wait-time unreasonable? Should I get my deposit back and just move on? I'm still super excited to get this watch but at this point, I'm not sure if it'll be this week or this time next year when this watch arrives. I haven't reached out to the AD yet because I feel like unless and until it arrives, what really could they update me with. If I do reach out it'll be asking for my money back, but I really hope they can come through before I get to that point. I'd be curious to get your opinions and I hope you're all doing well. |
