116610 Submariner Availability in Australia
There is roughly a 12-month wait list if you want a new steel Submariner 116610 from an Australian AD.
Why bother? My wife walked into a Rolex AD in Dubai and picked it out of the display case. They asked her if she wanted a Hulk as they had those in the shop as well! I was told the Australian AD's get an allocation of one SS Sub per month, whereas in Dubai, each AD gets about 40 a month. No discounting in Australia for steel subs, whereas in Dubai, they give you 10% discount. |

40 a month per AD is not true. Availability is pretty decent but nowhere near 40 per month...
Nice pickup, a real classic, never gets old. |

In Aus, the Rolex allocation for steel sports models is a joke! Congrats on the sub and wear it in good health!

I'm still baffled every time I read about the scarcity in Australia.
I guess we're spoiled in the States as just about everything is readily available. Congrats on the Sub! |

Most of the big trusted sellers here on the forum sell to members located in OZ.
Not sure about customs and taxes though. |

Congratulations. Did you get dinged on import duties/taxes on the way back in?
