Before the lockdown, I told her that I would like to acquire WG GMT with meteorite dial. Last week she called and told me that she had Batman, if I want I can have it.

Nice!

I wanted one. My plan was to get an Air King from my AD currently, then slide my name in on a Batman because i like em both. Got the AK after waiting for about 5 months, then first of the year go in to chat with the SA again, and was told he left. Moving to SE VA here in august so i figured i'd start fresh there. Figured i'd visit a few in that area and share my story.

My fingers are crossed for you!

My situation was similar to yours, but I gave up on getting a Rolex much sooner. Ended up with a Blancpain Bathyscaphe and am very happy with it.

Best of luck.

Would you mind sharing how good your purchase history with your AD is?
If you don’t want to share no big deal.
2018 to 2019 mid year I did buy a lot of
Watches around 70k. They had sold me a 2 tone sub , stainless gmt , 2 tone root beer , polar explorer , blue face dj 41 smooth bezel. Then I just kind of stopped going and touching base with them for months. Then I decided other day to text them and tell them I really wanted to get a sub date for my new boat watch. I
Knew they were just opening back
Up from covid. He called me back in 20 minutes said they just got it in. I said holy crap
Yes. I got lucky finally. I will add they never got me a hulk or Batman but this will
Defiantly keep me coming back in the future.

That seems nuts to not have a hulk or blnr after spending that much money.

Nobody debates the colour hues on a Sub/Date
A ss Sub does not have a nick name .
It is THE classic sports Rolex .Any vintage .
MRSP remains a bargain in Rolex world .

Congrats !
