waiting time sounds weird

Hi there,
I am actually very new here and reading most of the comments it did sound a little weird to me that lot of people are waiting for so long.
I assume I am one of the lucky guys here but I dont know if I would wait for more than a month.

anyway,I am a new owner of a submariner no date ( since about a month ago ).
last month I went to a Rolex AD and asked them about the sub date and they said they will have new shipment arriving soon and they will inform me.
only one day later I received a call from them and they said shipment arrived.
I went there to buy the date version, they had the new sea dweller,GMT and also no date.
I tried all of them but after I looked to the watch from the side,that cyclops looked little strange to me.
I went there to buy a date version but left the AD with the no date.

I will not say to anyone that one is better than the other. just try them out and buy the one you like more

I think the no date Submariner is perfect. If I were looking to get one quintessential Rolex professional model, this would be it. The cyclops is iconic, but the symmetry of the 114060 is more true to the original Submariner.

Congrats, at least in us, the no date isnt that hard to get in my experience. My ad had one sitting in the case

I wish more subs were available without a date than just the "base" model. If I could get a two-tone nd, I'd probably own one by now.

You got lucky. That’s all. I went to the same AD here in Dubai four times over two months, and one day he happened to have a GMT. That day, I got lucky.

Thanks all,
Seems Like I was lucky, but it seems also that the first buy will not be last one.
Still interested in some other models.
