OP36 waiting list?

What are the chances of buying OP36 from Rolex AD?
I am interested in the yellow one, but would like to know if you need to build a relationship with an AD to put your name on the list.

Just can't believe there is a premium on OP models..
Scratching my head while asking this question.
What kind of world are we living in?

Picked up a 41 at my AD yesterday. Only the second one they have received from Rolex.
They have not received any 36's yet. Sounds like a supply issue right now. Good luck.

Yep, my AD in NYC hasn’t received any 36s yet but has gotten the 41. I am waiting for the new silver OP36 and going on month 7 of waiting (put deposit down in May for the steel dial and switched the week it was discontinued in favor of the silver).

Seems like the 41 has been sent consistently to US ads but I have really only see the 36 in Europe and Asia from incomings.

6-week wait before I received the yellow OP36 from my AD. I do have a modest purchase history with them.

1 week wait for the blue OP36 at an AD in the Southeast. No purchase history. Did visit them a few times and made an introduction. I am genuinely surprised that an OP36 is becoming harder to get. Maybe because it appeals to both men and women.

There is another recent thread on this topic.

Seems there may be more 36s going to Asia.

When they where released, wife and I ordered one. I got a 41 blue, she got turquoise 36. Mine came in over a month ago. No sight of her 36. AD asked if we wanted another color but we are holding tight for the turquoise.

I was fortunate to pick up a pink 36mm for the wife two months ago. I'm still waiting for my turquoise in 41mm. My guy told me it's gonna take awhile but it's not impossible. Be patience. You should definitely get yours sometimes next year at the latest.

My sister got a coral red one from my AD in about a month or so.

Depends where you are. “Earth” is not very helpful. Plenty of OP36 models available.

Saw a 36 green sitting in the case at my AD this week. I put a deposit down 12 weeks ago on a 36 turquoise and am still waiting.
They told me they are getting very few 36mm and have seen no 34mm. Seems odd, I guess the 36 being unisex makes it most popular.

I was offered a 34mm blue, 34mm black, and a 41mm black in the last few weeks.

Mind posting some pics? I’ve got my eye on that one and haven’t seen many live pics.

Love how 36-mm is becoming cool again. What kind of world were we living in when it wasn't is what I wonder.

One of my local ADs in Basel, Switzerland had a dark blue and a green 36mm in the window last Saturday.

I ordered a candy pink 31mm for my wife that took about 8 weeks to get and a turqoise blue 41mm for myself which I'm still waiting for.

Guess was Bucherer, right ?

They had no more available watches for sales when I've visited them Thursday morning.

I was offered this a few weeks after the release. 41mm on a 7.5 wrist.
