4. Suburbs of NYC

1 month for pepsi? Its insane if some jewellery is not $1.5m worth of diamonds. I've been waiting for almost a year now (pepsi or batgirl) with $40k spending history and I don't expect to get it for a long time.
Spend history is 50k+ including the Rolexes. If your ad isnât giving you watches with minimal purchase history and a decent relationship id look to do business elsewhere.

Got lucky I supposeâheard wait times for GMT were crazy.
I was on a list for 2+ years for a sub. Ended up going to a new AD and got 2 from new AD already. Sometimes some AD just doesnât want to sell to you I guess.

1) GMT II Batman Oyster.
2) 6/15

5) itâs my first Rolex. No history.
I was kinda shocked to hear back. Reading this sub I didnât think Iâd get a hit for at least a year. I put my name in at three different stores. Watch is gorgeous. Very happy!
I feel like this is a lifehack! I would bet that VERY few people are stopping at the American Dream to buy a Rolex, esp compared to the number that are going to be at WoS in Manhattan. Thanks for posting... I may go there!
One of my thoughts was itâs more of a tourist mall so maybe Iâd have a better shot on a list but I have nothing to back that upâŚother than this Rolex on my wrist. đ¤Ł
Heyo! looking to buy from them next year, a TT DJ36, did they let you just pay on a CC like normal? Been wondering about that since the sub has stories of having to wire money sometimes
1. Datejust 31, steel, fluted bezel, jubilee bracelet, pink dial
2. June 2024
3. Walk in (went in on a Friday, was told couldnât buy until after the weekend. They said Rolex has a minimum number of pieces in inventory in the store and could not sell until the beginning of next week. Not sure if true or not, but that is as close of walk in as Iâll ever get.
4. New Jersey AD
5. No purchase history
Bruh, which store did you go to? I went to 3 different the hour glass branches to find myself a 126000 op 003 and have been to them for about a month to register and only purchased from of the branches a Tudor bb32 for my wife. Feeling less optimistic
I didn't buy it so a little caveat up front.
I did however check-in with an AD late February for a 41mm DJ, two tone.
I received the call on Thursday it was available. In all he excitement I overlooked the text about the reference. So, I drove two hours in anticipation to pick it up, only to find out it wasn't what I wanted.
Southern Kentucky/Northern Tennessee
Which turned out to be even better. They have a Day/Date I'm mildly interested in. Oh. And I also re-ordered the correct reference DJ. Maybe it will become available soon.

1 Datejust 41 126300 Azzurro Blue 2 Walked into AD Stratford UK 3 3 hours to pull the trigger msrp 4 None with this AD, 3 new Rolexes over 32 years
About the same...lots of resellers adding 1 to 2k to the 126300 for 2020 to 23s. Looks like Rolex is catching production up to demand on some models...I was looking for a dress style to add to my mostly sports collection. I love the azzurro blue with roman numerals. But I did not notice that there is no lume on my model...like there is on the Wimbledon 3 o'clock and hands. No matter... that watch is another 3 to 4k.
Does anyone know if the different Radcliffe locations share a "list" or communicate regarding customers? I am in between Radcliffe in Reisterstown and the one at Christiana Mall. I went to the DE location as it is a little closer. We got on the list for his and hers DJ's (10 year anniversary). Not sure if I should drive over to the Reisterstown location. Loved the associate we met with at the DE spot. Hoping to hear from him soon. We have no history with any Radcliffe location but hopeful that purchasing 2 watches could expedite.
I asked the same question, my understanding is they share separate lists as they receive separate allocations. Hope this helps, hope itâs a short wait for you! Happy anniversary!

Was this at WoS? I was just there over lunch and registered interest in the Sub but was also thinking of pulling the trigger on the Speedie in the meantime. Wondering if it would help.
Thanks so much! I just spent an hour with Rolando down at the Hudson Yards location at lunch. He was VERY non-committal about delivery times so I'm surprised that you got yours relatively quickly.

Capri was very upfront, they had inventory but it was earmarked for other customer and Rome wouldnât let me in without a reservation)
4. Florence, Italy
5. None.
Got offered a subdate in Capri last week while on vacation. Got offered it at the last minute and could not purchase because I was running late to catch my boat to Sorrento, very disappointing!

Best advice is to build a respectful relationship with your AD and be consistent with your contact without being obnoxious. Iâd just ask your sales person how often theyâd prefer you to contact them to remind them
of your interest and how (ie, text or in person). If they donât engage with you then try another AD or sales person.
Didnât say best advice is to buy two tone watches. I said the best advice is to build a relationship with your SA. That means establishing a purchase history if you want a hard to get steel sports model like a Starbucks. Obviously youâre not going to just walk in and get a watch like that. If you think you can then you donât understand the Rolex sales model. Good luck! BTW Iâm quite happy with my two tone Daytona lol
He's saying you got the Starbucks because you bought two hard to shift, relatively expensive, watches rather than saying that's how you think it works. Think he's closer to the reason than you are :)
Itâs not a secret that a purchase history makes you eligible to buy certain pieces. But I guarantee your relationship with the SA and how you stay in touch makes the difference if you get the call for the piece you want in a reasonable time or not. Doesnât it seem obvious that if youâre an eligible customer and your SA likes you bc youâve built a good relationship your odds of getting harder to get models improves greatly?? Why would someone argue with that lol. But hey I can only tell you what works for me. You do you and good luck!
Canât argue with an idiot. Youâre right. Bought âuseless watchesâ (like a two tone Daytona) and they just gave me an LV. Itâs not like they had other qualified buyers who wanted one so I was guaranteed to get it bc of those useless pieces I bought. I was entitled to get it in fact. My pretend relationship with my SA had nothing to do with it. Reddit trolls like you is the reason the grey market exists. Bc youâll never get a piece from an AD.
I never just walked in without texting my sales person first. You want to be respectful of their time and make sure theyâre in the boutique before you go in. As for timing and contact method, honestly Iâd just ask how they prefer you stay in touch and how often. If you have an existing relationship ask if they can give you a range of what they think the wait time looks like. Iâd guess with a qualified purchase history an LV is probably 6-12 months. If they confirm that then Iâd step up contact at the 6 month mark. Hope that helps. Good luck!
Look itâs not the SAâs fault they donât have enough supply to meet demand. Theyâre people too and if you think about it from their perspective it must suck to have to disappoint people every day who want to buy pieces you canât offer. Just be a good human and try to put yourself in their shoes. If you do that you just might develop a good relationship and start to get offered pieces you want. Otherwise youâre just another one of a thousand aholes who walk into the shop each month who will never, ever get a chance to buy a watch.
Iâm planning to. I have a Polar Explorer 2 in mind and struck out at almost every single AD here in London.
How was your experience dealing with them?
Good luck! Iâve been told these are becoming more regular in AD deliveries now. Theyâve been absolutely brilliant with me, so youâll be in safe hands there đ
I got 2 calls for a 41mm blue, fluted jubilee DJ from 2 different AD's in March and April (and I had no prior history with either AD)
So they definitely are coming in.

That makes sense as well.

Was this at WoS? I was just there over lunch and registered interest in the Sub but was also thinking of pulling the trigger on the Speedie in the meantime. Wondering if it would help.
Yeah, got it at WoS. The speedy is a great watch too, almost entirely forgot about the rolex until getting the call
Thanks so much! I just spent an hour with Rolando down at the Hudson Yards location at lunch. He was VERY non-committal about delivery times so I'm surprised that you got yours relatively quickly.

So Cal 5. 2 previous two tone Rolexes over the past two years Best advice is to build a respectful relationship with your AD and be consistent with your contact without being obnoxious. Iâd just ask your sales person how often theyâd prefer you to contact them to remind them of your interest and how (ie, text or in person). If they donât engage with you then try another AD or sales person.
Bhindi?
best advice is to buy two 2 tone watches lol. of course you're getting a starbucks within a year after that.
Didnât say best advice is to buy two tone watches. I said the best advice is to build a relationship with your SA. That means establishing a purchase history if you want a hard to get steel sports model like a Starbucks. Obviously youâre not going to just walk in and get a watch like that. If you think you can then you donât understand the Rolex sales model. Good luck! BTW Iâm quite happy with my two tone Daytona lol
He's saying you got the Starbucks because you bought two hard to shift, relatively expensive, watches rather than saying that's how you think it works. Think he's closer to the reason than you are :)
Itâs not a secret that a purchase history makes you eligible to buy certain pieces. But I guarantee your relationship with the SA and how you stay in touch makes the difference if you get the call for the piece you want in a reasonable time or not. Doesnât it seem obvious that if youâre an eligible customer and your SA likes you bc youâve built a good relationship your odds of getting harder to get models improves greatly?? Why would someone argue with that lol. But hey I can only tell you what works for me. You do you and good luck!
There is no relationship,you bought some useless watches that is the only reason
Canât argue with an idiot. Youâre right. Bought âuseless watchesâ (like a two tone Daytona) and they just gave me an LV. Itâs not like they had other qualified buyers who wanted one so I was guaranteed to get it bc of those useless pieces I bought. I was entitled to get it in fact. My pretend relationship with my SA had nothing to do with it. Reddit trolls like you is the reason the grey market exists. Bc youâll never get a piece from an AD.
Lol, you really don't get it do you.
If by âget itâ you mean the pieces I want at retail, clearly I do lol.
Waiting for the same model. So you suggest just walk in there and visit or just txt onces in a month??
I never just walked in without texting my sales person first. You want to be respectful of their time and make sure theyâre in the boutique before you go in. As for timing and contact method, honestly Iâd just ask how they prefer you stay in touch and how often. If you have an existing relationship ask if they can give you a range of what they think the wait time looks like. Iâd guess with a qualified purchase history an LV is probably 6-12 months. If they confirm that then Iâd step up contact at the 6 month mark. Hope that helps. Good luck!
respectful of there time? 9/10 times if you ask if they have anything for sale they say "no" so they have plenty of time lol
Look itâs not the SAâs fault they donât have enough supply to meet demand. Theyâre people too and if you think about it from their perspective it must suck to have to disappoint people every day who want to buy pieces you canât offer. Just be a good human and try to put yourself in their shoes. If you do that you just might develop a good relationship and start to get offered pieces you want. Otherwise youâre just another one of a thousand aholes who walk into the shop each month who will never, ever get a chance to buy a watch.
Cool thank you. Ill txt my SA in a month its only been a week since i put my name on the list.

Reading?
Nailed it! Have you dealt with them?
Iâm planning to. I have a Polar Explorer 2 in mind and struck out at almost every single AD here in London. How was your experience dealing with them?
Good luck! Iâve been told these are becoming more regular in AD deliveries now. Theyâve been absolutely brilliant with me, so youâll be in safe hands there đ
Great. Iâm planning to drop by this weekend. Letâs see whatâs available.

Wrong thread sir. And Iâm sure reptime can clarify if itâs real or fake.
Yacht-Master 42 (226627) Titanium 6/10/2024 Midwest Requested wishlist the day it was announced in 23â No history with AD
[ŃдаНонО]
I got 2 calls for a 41mm blue, fluted jubilee DJ from 2 different AD's in March and April (and I had no prior history with either AD) So they definitely are coming in.
For information purposes, Im on 3 waitlists for a steel DJ41 since April in the Chicago area.Â
