Thanks. Same here. Got a few watches from AD before things got “crazy”. Nowadays, I mostly buy pre-owned but I try to stay away from dealers.

A bit of update on my watch saga.
After a wait of over 3 years……..my AD called tonight. I was just getting ready for bed (early night) when my phone rung. I picked up and I was informed that my watch has finally arrived. I asked: “which one?!”. If I remember correctly I put my name down for a few models. “It is the green Sub, Sir! You have 7 days to pick it up”. Well, I put clothes on and drove straight to the AD. (Here its open until 23.00). I can’t believe it. So, I guess its true, they started to get a lot more watches….’cos I honestly thought Ill never be able to get a new sport model from AD for the rest of my days. This surprise came a week after I got married so I guess its a good sign.

I think so. I was on the waiting list at two local ADs for a Sub. The first one (18 months or so) came in, in August I believe, and the wife bought it for me. No more than a few weeks later, the second AD called me and said that my Sub was in. I had to pass on it, as wearing two Subs would just look silly, but I did replace it on the list with a Skydweller, not that I can reasonably expect to ever see it, you know never know...

Very reasonable in my view. However I wouldn’t feel comfortable asking a dealer to size a watch purchased elsewhere. Easy to do oneself anyway.
