Sub C - Black or Green - Is there a long waiting list??

Hi Guys,

Picked up my Sub C Black LN at the weekend, love it!! Had to wait a couple of weeks for the AD to get it in.

I got the last Sub C black LN in Saskatoon! (Canada) They told me they had one green Sub this year and it sold within minutes of being put in the display!

Found the same throughout my visits. Either they were sold out or had the last one in stock.

LN was easy for me - went into my AD to say "hi" and they just had a delivery (July 2011).

LV was abit of a chase for me, but only took a few days for it to be relocated for me (October 2011).



now they are not difficult to find - especially if you have a relationship with your suppliers/ADs.

Alberta, either Calgary or Edmonton have always had one in stock on my visits!!!
I'm not sure if there is an AD in Regina, but I'd bet a bigger city would have quicker access to them.

They are easy to find if you look hard enough....

FWIW, the hulk is impossible to source BNIB in paris....months-long waiting lists.

I think that it is available everywhere but AD's make it voluntary rare...

Currently no wait here in FL.

You can find both in the case of my local ADs.

Both should be pretty easy to find, if not they should be able to order one for you.

Here they are actually tough to come by-no AD has them. A few of my friends are AD's here and they have only gotten a few of them. The Sub LN is a different story--easy to come by. Of course--not hard to get here on TRF from a trusted seller for a good price BNIB with your name on card.

When i got mine in Miami, they had two. Haven't seen many at AD since. I've seen plenty pre-owned at places such as the Jewelry Exchange. LN seems easier.

When I was in Vegas in December I saw the SubC LN and LV all over the place. It guess it just depends where you are at.

Doesn't tend to be a problem here in the UK.. My 116610LV was sourced in around a week or two..

Both are in my AD's cases, along with both black and white Daytonas, all three variants of Milgauss, plus the new ExII in black and white. They've had the same DeepSea in the case for over 2 years. To say the Rolex market here is 'soft' is an understatement.

I guess it is a matter of what is there at the particular time you show up. By any means, these are not limited watches.

Interesting responses, as someone else remarked, depends on where you live. For the record I purchased mine from Knightsbridge London, a Dedicated Rolex AD, sells nothing but Rolex and they cannot fulfil demand quick enough for both colours! I guess different countries will probably have different trends too??

wouldn't Hyde Park 1 still gets their inventory from Rolex UK? Im sure Time2 may have the same or similar buying power as the AURUM Holdings Limited for an example.

Esm, I agree with you, Time2 and Aurum will both be priority customers in Rolex UK's eyes I would imagine! Just goes to show how regional variances can be so wildy different!

Black was prevalent here before Christmas but my ADs haven't yet received replenishment stock from Rolex.

Green was always more rare, and they've sold as well.

The green sells instantly and could take up to months to be replaced in West Palm Beach.
