116500 elusiveness

Unless you want to pay, on average £6000 (66%) over retail value, they're hard to come by

I'm kinda regretting not getting on waiting lists sooner. Did they carry on from pre ceramic lists: or start over?

Back around the release my attention was elsewhere, but I'm on a few lists now, however its number 21/ 34 etc. Some ad refused to add me. Others said they could only add me if I lived local or spent some money in their shop.

Not complaining, just saying. Obviously there's a few of us in this position

Eventually, I hope to get one. The ad with who me I'm on lists say not to be too deflated, as there's red marks by at least 10 or so on the names in the list above me.... Hence known dealers. And no chance of getting a call.

I must say.... I'm still looking at over a year....


I'm starting to rationalise the grey dealers hiked prices now. Am I mad to do that? The thing is, I'd have my hearts desire.... Stay on the list.... Then sell my new one to make my money back (in part given some kind of market levelling)....plus keep what ever residuals are still built in to my original, I might break even!?

Should I?

Feels wrong cos its such a rip off, and I hate that

But if I know I'll get a bnib to sell in 12/18 months, the difference would mean my "overpay" would be halved or better.... Not withstanding a price rise by rolex in my original is possible in mean time
