I want to buy a Rolex. How does one go about doing this nowadays? Do I need to email an AD to tell them exactly what I want and then wait a couple months? This will be my first nice watch.

^ You get it

If you don't have an existing relationship, an email to an AD will get you nowhere. You need to go in person and talk to them and start periodically checking in

Someone on here is selling a sub, check previous posts. But you should be able to get a DJ from an AD in ~6-8 months.

I would certainly not do it over email. Go in, have a polite conversation and explain your position. You’d like to treat yourself to your first nice watch and xxx model is what you’re after. I’d imply that you’d like to acquire more over time as repeat customers have some priority.

It depends also on the model. If it is something which is not very much sought after, you might be able to buy it right away from an AD. If it is something that is very desirable by many (like a submariner), an AD might even refuse to put you in their waiting list at all, as their list is already several years long. Really!

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
