My Friend Skipped The Submariner Waitlist With My Referral! How Long Did I Wait For My ROLEX?

You wouldn't get the watch if you didn' buy a Rolex from him 5 years ago. So, you waited 5 years.

Congrats ..great choice

Man these games they play rekindle my lack of interest in buying a Rolex. Ridiculous.

and this, my friends is why i detest AD's. "application for approval" to the salesman's boss to buy watch. absolutely insane!

do you need a new friend? i would gladly be your new best friend

Further evidence that the supply/demand imbalance is coming back into alignment. Patience will pay off. For a historic example, an AD in Houston was offering a ridiculously high 'tade in value' for my nasty cheap watch against a Sub that amounted to a 10% discount on the Rolex. No one knows if those days will return, but it is at least possible.

The waiting times are less and less, I think we are getting back to the old days soon where you would walk in and buy one

Interesting story. Sounds like a lot of Porky Pies but. 😅 There’s no shame in buying second hand on the grey market. It’s wrong Rolex doesn’t want to supply it’s customers, but what are we gonna do? As wrong as it is, taking a watch you know others are waiting for is wrong, if it happened to me I’d have take it. 😊

I would prefer Tudor as which is more lower profile and modernized watch to wear.

Battersea power station!!

Thank you KC nice video and great presentation.

New subscriber here. Loved the insight of your video.

I bought a Tudor from an AD and a month later, got offered a 2 tone rose gold datejust Wimbledon. When it came to what I wanted next, I asked for a submariner or an OP41 and was told I have to wait 3 months before I could buy again. After I get either the sub or OP, do you think it is appropriate for me to ask for a gmt/sky dweller? I’m pretty sure I can’t get a daytona yet

It has no date

Its strange how Rolex manipulates its customers.

Something seems fishy here. People wait years for these watches, and your magic AD has a hat he can seemingly pull one out of for both you and your friend with no history at all there. Very suspicious.

Simply the best watch in the world.

Blah blah blah

It’s getting easier to get Rolex recently.

Waited 18 months for a OP41 couldn’t wait any longer .Bought grey market 1k over list

Which store pls?

Congrats 😊 My hubby got the same watch 3 months ago and he waited about 2 weeks. Love sub ❤

Let’s be friends😂

It just shows Rolex ADs are struggling to find customers, as grey market dealers are no longer buying up all the stock and most people can’t be bothered to even go inside to ask about availability. You’re the only mug who bothered to ask, so I guess the watch went to you.

People have gotten so fed up they don’t even bother to walk into these ADs so now ADs have stock to sell, they have no customers. The table has indeed turned. Soon you will be able to get a discount as the economy is worsening.

Looks good! The lugs look smaller on the current Sub Date, compared to the previous Sub. I think that makes Sub Date fit better on your wrist.

Where is this AD?

Wow where are you? Omega and Swatch is all sold where i am for months

Ah Hong Kong

It looks wonderful on your wrist.

Precious metal and two done rolex’s are dead right now

Its a matter of right place at the right time. A friend of mine was offered a Royal Oak 15510 a day after he inquired. It does happen…..

Great video interested story you have a great sale person helpful

Great story and I’m hearing about things like this more now. That’s a good thing.
I have a great AD and waited 5 months for an Air King. I love pilot watches and it was worth the wait.

A rolesor sub is now being offered to walk in customers. But not the bluesy

Supply is up

Fantastic video! If you could keep only one watch which one would it be?

🍾

Did not see that coming at all! Congratulation on the submariner date score. It seems 41mm fit you better. Look forward to seeing your cover on both the submariners in your collection. I reckon your friend will regret not picking up that two tone sub very soon. What a missed opportunity!

What do you like more the sub no date or the sub date ?

Your audio is much better!

Wow KC.❤ i am still on the waitlist.

Wow. Lucky! Enjoy your new Sub.

Awesome experience , great pick up , Very nice watch

Hey man can you introduce me to the sales associate 😊

If waiting is from the day you désire à piece, talk about with an AD to receiving (nearly) the same piece (the same model) it is 5 years.
If it's only chatting with an AD inquiry for a model and get it the next day, it's one day.

It is still a ver good story thank you for sharing it. Mine is différent but good to, and the best is yet to come.
