Order Wait Time

[SavGADawg]

So I’m planning ahead for a significant milestone for my wife. I’d like to get her a DJ 36 in steel with diamond bezel and black diamond dial. The AD has indicated I can order the watch - as in an order for and the specific watch - not a waiting list for a random allocation. AD says I should expect delivery in roughly 18 months.

As I said, I’m planning ahead. The milestone is 3 years out. Does anyone have recent experience with an order like this. I’d prefer to not plunk down $18k and have it sit in my safe for 2+ years but don’t want to be caught empty handed either. Ideally, I’d take delivery in 24 - 30 months. I’m wrestling with when to place the order.

Any thoughts?

1yr out, and don’t be afraid to shop around.

Why shop? I wouldn’t expect a discount. Should I?

1. Another AD may not have quite the same stated lead time
2. You may be able to find that config on the secondary well below MSRP

Thanks. Good luck, it’s a nice gift idea.

Kinda speaks to the fact that ADs don't know when exactly they're going to get certain units.

Ask to put down a smaller deposit.
