Wait Time OP41

Hello,

I know it’s hard to say when it comes to availability and wait time for certain models. But if you had to guess. What is the current wait time for an OP41 In the basic colors?

I know the demand for those models were high back when the exotic dials were available. But does anyone think demand has shifted and they might become more available now?

For context I am currently living in Los Angeles

Honestly depends on your purchase history and how well you know the SA..

Silver is the easiest, then black, then blue.

Is this is your first watch or purchase from a store?

If so, there's no telling if or when you will ever get a call.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

At the ADs, you'll have a better chance after repeatedly buying jewelry or non-Rolex watches. At the boutiques, you kinda just wait your turn to get lucky.

Walk in availability with substantial purchase history.

I got the blue after a three week wait without purchase history earlier this year. I don’t think the silver black or blue are that hard to get. But obviously YMMV. So I’d recommend trying a few different ADs.

Lucky man! I've been waiting about 4 months for a blue and was told it would be 9-16 months. Fingers crossed it's on the front end of that time frame as it would make a nice Christmas gift.

At my AD, waiting times for every color for the OP 36 and 41 are at least 7 years.

I think it is getting a bit easier these days though. One local AD had 2 blue DJ's available not long ago. Another AD had a TT DJ with a champagne dial in the case and available. One other AD mentioned that they were expecting some DJ's to arrive soon. It really seems like luck of the draw though, so I would keep checking back with all of your local AD's on a regular basis.

Looks like luck, relationship with ad and whether or not rolex happens to ship your local ad the watch you want. That said, I don’t think it would be more than a couple of months if they like you.

Depends on what color you want and how many people ahead of you and who they are. Let then know what you wroth like and take it from there. Best to you.

I would say it is anything but easy. I have been asking for almost 2 years, at 4 different ADs. Looking for an OP41 in *any* dial color. My brother's 41st is this year and I'm trying to get him an OP41 for his 41. At one of the ADs I have purchase history and was able to buy a Sub and actually special order 2 DJs (31 and 41). The OPs just do not seem to be a high volume piece, so they can't sell me what they don't have.

I feel like in your market, it's going to be tough unless you are really throwing money around.
