I bought my BLNR in 2015 before they were even popular, so it isn’t a fair comparison. I called an AD I had never dealt with, asked if they had one and they said yes. I drove there and bought it. I got 7% discount! One of my best purchases ever. I’ve bought more from them since. I’ve never asked to go on a waiting list there.

I had expressed an interest in a Submariner LV and a BLNR on Jubilee at a brand new WOS that opened in late winter 2022. 5 weeks later, I got the call for the LV. 2 years later in June of this year, I got the call from the same AD for the BLNR on Jubilee. I have no idea that the earlier purchase in 2022 contributed to being able to buy the BLNR but it does seem so?!

Engagement ring in 2019 and then I got the GMT in March of 2024 after waiting for 3 months. My story is a bit unique, as I was expecting a Sub for my 40th and never was on their list. I wrote some online reviews and the manager called me and asked me what they could do to make it right.
I bought the Sub grey and asked for the GMT and received it three months later. I've seen sold the sub. |

For the last GMT received… it was 3 other stainless steel models, 3 other lower priced brands like $100-1000 each.
It took about 3 years total though. |

Oh boy..Rolex retail buying is strictly a big YMMV situation. I know people who've got purchase history but still no watch after 1 year.
Then people like me with no purchase history and rep gave me the sub date in only 7 weeks! Now working with same rep for my BLNR. What I did was cast a bigger net and got my name on waitlists at 3 ADs in my area (within a 150 mile radius). One of them came thru, basically. One of them actually flat out told me on my face that "sub date" is a very privileged watch and I have to buy a Tudor to step my game before being put on the waitlist. I never stepped back in that AD.

It really is country dependent I think. I got my GRNR after 50k of spending.
I think in some place 50k isn’t even enough to be considered for the list. |

Got a Sub date, Exp 1 and DJ 36. Got a BLRO after those and waited 4 years to the day after my 1st purchase with my AD.

$13k on DSSD JC before BLRO only 4 months later, but that was back in 2018/2019.

I walked into Gandelman’s in Aruba in 2015 and bought my batman out of the case. I had no prior history with them.
