Ugh this is so nice I don’t want to be the one to break the bad news.
An OP41 with a black dial would do the trick
Excellent gift! But have you already found an AD that’s a) has one now and it didn’t sell within 15 minutes of arrival and b) willing to sell it to you when you’re ready? I assume you’ve done your diligence on sports Rolexes and if this is the case I want this AD’s number right now haha
OP that very nice but, you can’t just buy a sub unless you have one allocated to you.

So to sum this up for you OP.
That’s an incredible gesture and he’s very lucky. It’s not impossible but time is going to be a factor. It’s a very very in demand watch and the supply doesn’t keep up.
My suggestion would to be look up several authorized dealers (you can search by zip on Rolex.com) the go in and try to make a connection with the sales rep.
Pull in the heart strings. It’s an anniversary gift, he’s wanted it forever.
You might get lucky!
You’re an awesome partner!

Do you have an AD who has one ready to sell you? Pro tip: you will not be able to just buy one off the shelf

If you are talking about a stainless steel submariner it will be next to impossible to walk in and get one. However, two tone and gold models are significantly easier.
Last year I was able to walk in and pick up a two tone submariner without a waitlist or prior purchase history.
But remember this year the two tone subs are hot because of the new release.
What’s an AD?

Aside from the near impossibility of getting the Rolex model you actually want, I believe you can only pay by like cashiers check or something at Rolex, you can’t use credit cards. That could be just my local Rolex AD, but I believe it’s all Rolex ADs

Oh I guess my AD is ass backwards but what’s what happens when you live in Midland TX lmao
Can someone explain why if I google this specific watch, there are numerous online retailers that sell it?

Call one and ask to buy one. They’ll either offer you a “used” Sub at thousands over MSRP, offer to put you on a waitlist and then actually do that, offer to put you on a waitlist and not do that, or they’ll just tell you you can’t have one.
If you can buy one at MSRP you could turn around and flip it for around $14k. There’s a reason: you can’t buy them at MSRP.
