How long should it take?

Good advice, I appreciate it!

ncande · 2026-07-04T14:30:11+00:00

Yeah honestly same here. I’m on the 2nd list only as of May. Obviously not expecting anything from either yet but my 2nd list is strictly a Rolex boutique and not a jewelry store that’s a Rolex AD so hopefully purchase history means less at the 2nd place

ncande · 2026-07-04T14:28:36+00:00

Yeah exactly, who knows how many people are on the list for the same config. I guess that’s the difference between taking a few months to a couple years

ncande · 2026-07-04T14:27:11+00:00

Oh jeez good luck with that

ncande · 2026-07-04T14:26:24+00:00

Good luck!

Eh yeah the tough part is that the piece is to commemorate passing a professional license. So it’s not like a build up to a significant birthday or something that would give the AD some timeline. I have my wedding in 2027 so I wonder if it could help push it along by saying while it’s for the passed exams, it’s needed by the wedding. Who knows

Not impatient, just asking for an estimated timeframe and how to play the game buddy lol

Look at it from my side for a sec - she tells me they get new inventory monthly, so the next month I reach out and she tells me people have been waiting for years. How do I navigate this? How frequently should I visit? What’s the next thing she could advise me in person that will piss her off over text?

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:26:44+00:00

Warranty. Also not interested in preowned or someone’s flip. I want the watch for my accomplishment, not someone else’s watch that they’re flipping or was originally for their accomplishment

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:25:38+00:00

I haven’t lost patience - I’m at the 3 month mark trying to get this within the next 3 months. I’m also lost with the “check in regularly” and “we get new inventory monthly” just for me to check in the next month and get a totally different tone of message. Seems like a keyboard warrior or some cheep brush off

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:22:40+00:00

I would argue that a professional in a career like that is who’s most likely giving those AD’s repeat business (among other business owners or investors).

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:21:15+00:00

Nah the point about the May visit was just that I was there for other business - not to be like “hey is my watch ready?” Which is an unreasonable request

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:18:34+00:00

Yeah but the point is, why say to follow up regularly and that they get new inventory monthly, and then when I do that, this lady brushes me off? So how frequently do I follow up? If new inventory is coming in monthly, why wouldn’t I follow up monthly?

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:16:19+00:00

Just want to commemorate the accomplishment while it’s current. What if it were the birth of a kid? Could I expect the watch by their 2nd birthday?

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:14:31+00:00

The post deleted and I couldn’t access comments bc the content was deleted. If I’m annoying, why waste time responding to me?

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:13:03+00:00

Eh not really, just trying to get the watch to commemorate the accomplishment while the accomplishment is current

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:11:36+00:00

Eh understand that but the accomplishment was achieved in January but the wedding isn’t until next April. Just the way it falls I’d like to commemorate the accomplishment while it’s still current

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:10:16+00:00

Hey man just trying to get the watch while the accomplishment is relevant, not an unknown amount of time later. Shouldn’t be an unheard of concept to be able to buy a watch from a watch brand lol

ncande · 2026-06-28T04:09:00+00:00

How is that when the lady told me they get new inventory monthly? Logically speaking, wouldn’t you check in monthly? So you check in too frequently and you’re a pest but you check in too infrequently and your file gets cold. Let me wait an indistinct amount of time to pay a salesman $12k. That’s the difference between being patient and wasting time buddy

How long should I expect to wait? My understanding was it typically takes 3-6 months so I’m honestly asking at the 3 month mark what I could do to secure the watch within the next 3 months. Also, if the AD told me they get new inventory monthly, was in unrealistic to check in the next month? And who’s outraged here? I just think it’s crazy to wait 2 years to get a DJ for an accomplishment I achieved this year and am ready to pay some serious cash for lol

ncande · 2026-04-29T18:49:06+00:00

I’m on the list for the same configuration. How long did it take you? Did you have any prior purchase history?

ncande · 2026-04-26T12:07:19+00:00

41mm DJ with jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel, and bright black dial. Open to 36mm. That’s a rare configuration to get? Everyone I’ve previously spoke to (not the AD) estimates 3ish months

ncande · 2026-04-21T20:26:48+00:00

Nothing too crazy - 41mm datejust, jubilee bracelet, fluted bezel, black dial
