Finally got "the call" from the Rolex AD this week to pick up the Submariner 124060 

Beyond excited, been waiting the better part of 3 years from the 114060 era. In the meantime, been tempted multiple times to pick up from grey dealers but now, glad I didn't. It's really the thrill of the chase.

Gorgeous well-proportioned piece vs the previous 11-series and the AR coating on the crystal really brings out the black dial. Well worth the wait.

Thanks! First Rolex but not my first watch with the AD. I just bought pieces that I really wanted as part of my collection, regardless of whether I get the Sub, like the Moonwatch and Tag Monaco. And all the while, just mention my interest in the no-date Sub and checking in from time to time.

Since mentioning my interest and being told they would put me on the interest list (I actually think this list is a myth lol), I guess it's been 3 years? I'm not the kind who'd buy an expensive watch I don't want (GP, Hublot, etc) or few watches in quick succession just to get a Rolex, so maybe that's why have to wait so long. I also read on other forums that Rolex watches seem to be more available than before (secondary market also softening) so maybe I got "lucky"?

dont have

And yet you hardly see anyone post pics of their watches here nowadays.

More like the veterans can't afford to play the AD game
