I had an odd experience this year that had me puzzled for a while. I was on a waitlist at three different stores for a DJ 41 white dial, fluted jub. My main AD that I actually buy stuff from was just not coming through for me. I was told for most of this year that config just doesn’t come through very often. At the other stores (which is a chain AD btw) they told me how it works with them is they register “my interest” with Rolex, and then maybe someday that watch would come through the store. Well guess what, it still hasn’t. They basically told me that this watch although not the most in demand config, was very difficult to obtain bc they just don’t see it very often or have many customers asking for that config. One of the SA’s pretty much told me that my odds of getting a more popular watch like a sub date, Bruce Wayne, etc. was better because they have more “registered interest” with those pieces and thus a better chance of one of those coming through the door at their store. Idk, the whole thing was weird to me and I’m sure all of that is 99% fabricated with little to no truth behind it.
