I am trying to locate a SD43-126600, but my local AD tells me there is a 3-4 year wait. Is this a common theme from what you guys/gals are hearing?
They have a BLRN and a Submariner 114060 in stock, and I am a little torn on what to do. Thanks!

brandrea · 13 February 2018, 10:46 AM

There seem to be a good number popping up in the US, two incomings yesterday alone, and I believe one was from a smaller US AD.

Start calling around your area and widen your circle if you can’t find one.

Good luck

Edit: welcome to TRF

3-4 year wait for an SD43 is what I have been told.

BLNR in the store is pretty rare also. Go grab it.

Wow, that's as long as the SS Daytona. I think more people probably realised the SD43 is hard to find. Hope you guys find one!

There is no, I repeat NO way I would wait 3-4 years for this watch. (Any watch, actually)

You can get a BNIB or LNIB from one of our TS for a few hundred over what you would pay (+ tax) at the AD. Your time is worth something.

This. I spent 6 months visiting/calling ADs, even was told I needed to buy something else before I could get on "the list." Trusted sellers list these weekly, they must have first dibs

Eventually I caved and got one from a local TS

Sadly that’s the lay of the land these days. If you want a popular/new SS sports model you have to pay to play.

I'd start calling other ADs. They are out there.

Amen.

Tebow15 · 13 February 2018, 11:07 AM

Have you seen how many are available in the for sale section??

scarabei · 13 February 2018, 11:20 AM

I am on a waiting list with two ADs in the US. They optimistically predict 1 year’s wait time.

3-4 years?!?! Wow...

Randy · 13 February 2018, 11:48 AM

3-4 year wait?

Call some other ADs in adjoining states. Red Sea dwellers showing up at most ADs. Get on a list or place deposit on one. This is a high profit watch for Rolex, they are pumping them out. Good luck!

Opes · 13 February 2018, 12:30 PM

I put down the required 20% at my local FL AD to have it "ordered". To manage my expectations, I was told to realistically expect about 2-3 months; however, it arrived in 2 weeks.

3-4 years sounds a bit off-putting to me. Have you purchased anything from them before?

Onlytime · 13 February 2018, 12:45 PM

Thanks for the advice, I will try some other ADs in adjoining states to start.

Your AD has done something wrong to have to wait 3-4 years to get a SD43. Best to find an AD that hasn't angered Rolex in some way to be cut off from receiving watches they could profit from selling.

Fleetlord · 13 February 2018, 12:50 PM

No No No No No No...

The quoted 3-4yr wait time is essentially equal to BYE.

The Harsh Reality:

The dealer just doesn't want to deal with another person to be put on a list and bother them about an allocated watch. They have their regulars who are known spenders and will wait for one to show up. That is good enough for them. Nope, they don't care about your business and that you will take your money elsewhere....

That being said....I did hear from a small AD, off the beaten path, that they have only received (1) SD43 since summer and have received (4) SS Daytonas. Not sure if that means anything or not considering the reports of these being in display cases in other markets without a list.

So, the 3-4yr wait time is ridiculous and just to get you out of the store....shop around, you may just stumble upon one or find a dealer who is willing to hook you up.

Point taken...but here's the thing, I just purchased a BLRO in December from the same AD, and they are still quoting me 3-4 years. I don't live in a major metro, if that makes a difference.

Wow...that is very odd....

Usually NOT being in a major metro is advantageous to being able to source a scarce reference...

3-4yrs is not even close...I have no idea why they would say that to you, especially since you are already a client.

Fabrice M · 13 February 2018, 12:51 PM

My AD told me 4 to 6 weeks. I put a deposit. 2 weeks ago. We will see...

wmcjhi · 13 February 2018, 01:26 PM

My AD told me today 12 people on the list with a payment to hold their spot, approximately just over a year. No BS from them, I'm current finally up to #1 on the list for a 116610LN. Houston, TX.

My problem is I live in a state that doesn't have a sales tax and in a city that get a lot of out-of-state and out-of-country Rolex WIS. I guess I am going to have to play the game also and take a road trip.

genkifd · 13 February 2018, 02:40 PM

Ive found it all depends where you are. My contact could get the sd43 from europe now but in hk and australia seems a long waitung list. Its all about your contacts

The fact there is a waiting list for a steel date Submariner shows just how crazy things are right now

10XRolex · 13 February 2018, 02:51 PM

Walked in they had one. Sold. Actually, they had two. Got a phone call a month later to see if a friend was still interested in one since they received another.

mickyd329 · 13 February 2018, 05:37 PM

Took 7 months on the list for me to get mine.. I think 3-4 years is BS.
