Hey 🐠...Anyone know of a AD around the Chicago area that can help get a steel Rolex Submariner without a long wait time?

If you know someone that has a relationship already, maybe ask them to get you the Sub? AD’s don’t really care if it’s your first watch. They care if you’ll continue buying after.

It’s pretty fascinating and frustrating going through ADs, I’ve been on the market for two (albeit harder to get) watches for a couple years now and the whole process has been eye opening.

Yeaaa that’s not how it works either. Just telling them won’t be enough (words are cheap). They’d want you to buy something else.

If you want the sub, just get your name on a list. From what I’ve seen the subs have shorter waits relative to GMT, Daytona, skydwellers etc.

You’re unlikely to avoid a long wait with an AD. Would rec going in and getting your name on a list.

Do you know if AD’s accept referrals to get up on the list? Its my first actual luxury watch, so new to this process?

I understand why you would want an AD, but I had a good experience using chrono24 to buy my sub. Used chrono24 to find it then bought directly from Collectors1946.com. They gave me a great deal and were easy to work with. Can’t recommend them enough

You could also go through the grey markets. Markup on date and no date subs aren’t outrageous.

Guys, ive seen videos on YT (Watchfinder&Co. channel) and the quality of fakes is impeccable. I dont know how I can trust secondary mkt given how good the fakes have become 😬

Thanks will check em out

Are you sure about the Rolex? There are so many good alternatives...

^thanks for all the info OW. I like both GS and Omega Seamaster...will do some more research make a call!
