How do Rolex waitlists work with respect to different models? Like if an AD could let me have a Sub, Exp 1 or 2, DJ, GMT, etc I would honestly take whatever is available first. Are there lists for specific models or is it sort of just one big pool?

It’s all at the discretion of the AD. Some have lists that they more or less track, others take names but prioritize repeat clients. In general - asking for something specific is more likely to get you a watch - ADs don’t want to sell to flippers and saying “I’ll take anything” makes you look like a potential flipper

Ok that’s good to know. I’ve purchased an explorer 1 before from my AD and they offered me an Air King a couple months after I mentioned it but I ended up declining. I would love a Sub or a GMT, I’d take either in a heartbeat. Sounds like the best path would be just deciding which one I want and commit to it

My AD said there are no more formal waitlists. So you just have to have a relationship and be as specific as possible about what you want. It’s also helpful to tie it to a personal or career milestone.

Alright this bowl has convinced me I need to buy a Rolex. Where do I begin? I know my brother got a Batman GMT after about a year at a jeweler he never purchased from a few years ago, but was he just lucky? Do I need a relationship with an AD in today’s market for a Sub or GMT? Based in Seattle but would prefer to buy in Oregon to avoid taxes
