AD wait time for YM40 blue dial?

How long no purchase history?

In Florida, could be forever. You can probably get one of those for close to retail from gray market.

Yeah but I want new/unworn

Unsure, it really has a lot to do with your local market, the amount of patrons w/ history, and sometimes luck.

I will say it's not the most desired piece so it's a reasonable ask, but asking how long something will take on this forum is a complete waste of your time as no one knows the answer. And we'd all be guessing, until you just go for it and see what happens.

The only person who can answer this question is your Authorised Dealer. Best to go grey and have it today!

There is no real answer then, you may get lucky or you may be waiting for 1yr+. Florida just seems to suck for AD purchases, too many ultra wealthy old people and too many flippers…..

You can buy new and unworn from some of our Trusted Sellers. Why not do some research and see what that would cost you. Remember to add in the tax to an AD purchase when figuring the numbers. Get on the phone with some Trusted Sellers and see what they tell you. Asking price is typically not getting price so you can negotiate, typically 3-5% off asking. Good luck and let us know how you proceed.

Best of luck OP, lots of great advice above

Put your request with a couple ADs. You might get it before the holidays. Beautiful watch.

I never understand these questions. It is Impossible to accurately say what the wait time is. There is no “standard procedure” here. Wait time varies greatly from AD to AD….

In any event, this is a watch that is generally more obtainable than some of the other really hyped sport watches from the crown. My best guess…(key word *guess*) would be somewhere around 3-6 months and this is with some sort of purchase history. Doesn’t have to be anything crazy.

As a first time purchase it should still be doable, just not sure about the 3-6 month timeframe.

There are probably a lot there just dated a month or two ago totally unworn, maybe even with stickers. Legally, it is a used watch, but in actuality it is brand new.

I would say soon, to quite soon.
