00:00 Rolex Waitlist Explained
They expect me to “build a relationship” in order to buy a watch? No thanks, I’ll build a relationship with my kids. And the watch store can just sell me a fucking watch
for real
Seriously
Facts
@abidiaz55 Obviously not. This video is for people who wear chinos that end 2 inches above the ankle and button collar sport shirts that are 3 sizes too small and wear penny loafers without socks and drive a leased bmw. I like girls so I’ll watch different videos.
There's no watch dealer of any brand that has what you need. You have what they need. The Rolex game is for truly wealthy people who have given away their power in this bizarre retail microcosm, because they have so much money that it's inconsequential to them. You shouldn't even try to play on their playground, just get an Omega or something.
Why would my AD sell me any hot watch when he can slip it to his friend in the Grey and pocket a nice cash profit..
Exactly this.
Yessir
Because being a Rolex dealer prints money, and a dealer will lose their retailing rights if they’re caught. Rolex is tracking serial #’s.
@@MalcolmZeger Seriously.. Rolex manufacturer over a million pieces every year thousands of Grey dealers worldwide have ten of thousands of brand new unworn pieces available..Rolex have no means whatsoever of tracking serial numbers there is no register once they arrive at the AD their business is done.. it is the AD who is in complete control of the market and who gets what.
@@MalcolmZeger you missed the part where selling their watches to the grey market and taking kickbacks is literally why being an AD is a license to print money. How many ADs have lost their rights in the last 4 years while store shelves sit empty and all the stock has flowed to the secondary market?
The unspoken elephant in the room: ADs selling directly to gray marketeers like Roman for (way) over MSRP. Don't tell me it isn't happening.
💯
Absolutely true 💯
The biggest problem is the fact that Rolex AD’s started to sell “pre owned”. They’ll sell it to a friend or a business partner, buy it back ten seconds later and now its considered “pre owned”, and they have the gall to then price it according to the secondary market. To me, that’s even more slimey than the fact that they’re in cahoots with grey dealers. It’s like insider trading (to my brain)
@@michaelfinn9066 Yep, it is corrupt to the core. I only buy vintage Rolex now. Won't touch anything new with Rolex this manipulative.
Switched to Omega after the Rolex Ad in Manhattan treated me like scum and when I asked for a sub date they told me I’d be waiting for 5 plus years and tried to sell me on getting on the list for a deep sea instead
Meanwhile every third person you see in the city has a sub
So stop bullshitting your clients that are coming in to spend 7k+ , I’m in sales myself and every person is equally valuable despite what my market or their budget dictates
Bought a omega worldtimer instead and I couldn’t be happier
Omega Worldtimer - A gorgeous choice. In a way the Rolex AD helped you getting a better watch 😅
@@petrolhead007 Omega Constellation (meteorite) here…didn’t feel like doing the whole Rolex dog and pony show.
Ah the cry of a poorper 😂
@@gregoryadler7806 oh, that's an amazing watch - Sporty and graceful at the same time
So „every third person you see in the city has a sub“ (implying it’s not special and easy to get), yet you didn’t get one and had to look for alternatives? 😅
In my opinion the waiting list game at the AD is plain stupid and I don't think I'll be buying a Rolex. Plenty of other great brands that are not going to make people wait, I recently got a Panerai and Breitling...love them. Next is Omega!
Was thinking of Panerai instead.
@@gerardaguila2049 Panerai is a solid watch I absolutely love mine
Rolex will always be missing just like a dad in single mother’s household, if you serious collector.
That is an apt metaphor.
Luxury manufacturers playing with adult people they waitlist and please sell me one game.... are not worth my admiration.
The product is never larger than the person who literally pays the bills of the dealer, the import company and the staff at the Rolex company itself.
I hear everything is available at Casio. All the time.
AND!!!!!! they are amazing time pieces
This would be a great video to make once a year to update the times.
Imagine jumping through all these hoops… simply to end up being just a guy who wears a Rolex… get a cool watch instead!
Rolex is literally the number 1 watch
@@kevthesage5747 and MacDonalds is the most popular restaurant in the world. Bon Appetit
I recently went to a new AD about 1 hr away from where i live, purchased a Gold Breitling, put my name in the waiting list for a Rolex Starbucks and 3 weeks later they called me with the amazing news of my watch was already there! Call it luck! 🍀🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
They had the watch already in the back. Your gold breitling has taken a very hard moving piece of stock off their hands.
I would go back in a few months and try see if you can get another desirable Rolex.
Taking a gold breitling off their hands will usually allow credit for at least 2 reasonably desirable professional models. Or a single very hard to get model like a steel Daytona or jubilee Pepsi.
You know why it took 3 weeks to call you ? Because they party for 3 weeks after they get rid of the golden breitling :))
@@cabuleaovidiu3819 and? Im a Breitling fanatic and i will never sell it or trade it.
@@stevenli6806 it could be, the reason why i bought the Breitling, first at all i love Breitling as a watch brand, secondly, they had this financing program of 0% for 5 years through Wells Fargo, how can you not to take that offer? And i got the Rollie statbucks, it was a win win situation for me.
I’m on the registry back again, for a Datejust chocolate, GMT Bruce Wayne and Batgirl, she told me we are in good terms and most likely i will have one of then by year end.
Not a fan of daytonas or pepsi.
Have a great day !
@@cabuleaovidiu3819 goof! 🤡
Thanks for the graphs and time ranges for the various Rolex lines - helps set / tamper expectations
Extremely ironic having a watch reseller who is pivotal in creating the difficulty getting a Rolex at an AD discussing the waitlist.
This video is the truth. After being on waitlists for several dealers for the past 3 years, i randomly stopped by one of the dealers and asked where I was in line. The sales guy, who was super cool, sheepishly explained that there is no waitlist. A sales person will take down your info, and if they don’t think you are a serious buyer or otherwise unworthy, will throw that card in the trash the minute you leave. Others they might hang onto for a short period of time if other buyers looking for the same thing fall through. I told him what I wanted. He said he might have one in a few days. He took my info, and I wondered if he might toss my card in the trash. 4 days later he contacted me saying the watch was arriving in two days and I had been chosen. Two days later I picked up the watch. Simple as that. One week turnaround. Probably all because we hit it off and had a pretty good conversation.
Story is missing some info. Was the watch you bought the one you waited for 3 years? How often did you go back to the several dealers you waited on for those 3 years ?
@@AG-en5yI don’t remember how many times I went into all three stores I was on “waitlists” for all three years. But I can rank them in frequency by distance. The furthest store from me which is where I finally got my Rolex - I probably only went there a couple of times a year. The watch I got was not the same model I was on the waitlist for, but I was on the fictitious waitlist for that same watch at the other two stores. I went to the second furthest store a few times a year. The one closest to my house - I went there at least once a month. What I don’t mention before is I actually bought a Tudor and a Tag Heuer from the closest store in an attempt to buy my way up the waitlist, but it didn’t work. They never called me.
When you say you hit it off….
And what was the watch?
This story is a copy and paste. I have read this story at least 10 times.
PS: 'I had been chosen" makes me piss myself laughing every time.
You forgot the DayDate, Air King and Yacht Master.
Thanks for this, helped me to not waste my time 🙏🏾
@@triniboy05 The Presidential supremacy
The waitlists are almost a thing of the past. I’ve been offered 2 Rolex’s in the last month both by different ADs. The same is true with Patek. I just got an aquanaut in May.
I've been hearing the same.
still depending on model. Explorer or Airking - sure, not Sub or GMT
This is absolutely not the case for most places. Either you live near a high volume AD’s, were lucky, were happy to accept unpopular models, have more dollars than sense, or are full of bs.
@@dunnybrush Rolex Daytona Ghost was one. Rolex GMT was 2. Everose Day Date was a third. Those were all on my list. I can’t comment on popularity since I buy only buy watches for my own collection or gifts. In the last 6 months I’ve picked up 2 date just for employees and a Patek Gondolo for my fiancée. One AD is Columbus , OH and the other is Las Vegas. I don’t know what their volumes are. I’m not sure how BS plays into it.
@@edwinckelly yep. So a combination of high volume market and mondo cash. Your statement about waitlists being a thing of the past does not reflect the experience of regular people.
Hi Roman, regarding the OP. My AD (in Holland) said that the OP doesn't have a waiting list, but they take orders when you put down a deposit. So technically there is a wait, but it's not a list and you guaranteed getting a watch. (by the way, this only counts for the black, blue and silver dial of course)
Can I ask how mutthe deposit is?
@@kleitosaliagas5668 I honestly don’t know, because I didn’t ask.
I still find this crazy, 2019 I walked into my local AD and walked out with an OP and pretty much had the full range to choose from. Didn't have the budget but pretty sure I could have walked out with a steel sub.
Ok so with zero dollars in the bank account, get on the waitlist for the daytona and when they call you in 8 years you'll have the money saved up. Sounds like a win
The big part of it people forget is the stores aren’t aware of what stock is coming in and sometimes go a long period of time without receiving the watch you asked for. So if they do there may be other people with strong purchase history or relationships that will come first.
Honestly, who runs a business like that? It just doesn't make sense.
@@bddc201 most high demand product businesses operate in that manner
MARKET IS DEAD
That's what kino has been saying for the last two years the secondary gray watch market is dead
😂😂😂
You had to get that off your chest, didn’t you?😂
Drop drop!! And Drop some more!
The grey market is almost 60 years old! it hasn’t and isn’t going anywhere !
Just because the prices change doesn’t mean the market is dead
Just like the stock markets fluctuates and crypto fluctuates !
Luxury Bazaar is almost 30 years old , Happy Jewelers is almost 50 years old , CRM is almost 13 years old .
The recent watch bull market
Only lasted about 2 years (Covid) . Which only represents about 3% of the entire grey market lifespan . Not to mention Rolex (119yrs) , AP (149yrs) Vacheron 270 yrs , Patek (185 yrs) , have all been in business for centuries , and yet some people actually believe that “the watch market is dead” when it’s centuries old and the grey market is almost a century old and you think because we had hyper inflation for 2 years , and many many watches are still 2-5X retail and still impossible to obtain !!!!
You’re delusional
I have been on this” Wait List” at my local Rolex authorized boutique for almost a year for an Oyster Perpetual Green 41mm. This is super frustrating.
That has to be one of the dumbest first world problems I’ve ever heard. “My AD won’t sell me a watch” boo hoo😢
I waited 2 years and 11 months to get Explorer 40mm from a London AD..
I went into Patek and asked about a nautilus. The SA told me that I would need a purchase history to be put on a list. I said so you want me to buy Patek watches that I don't want to possibly someday be offered a nautilus and she said yes. Hard no for ne!
Steps to getting a Rolex!
Be a local business owner, a local first responder, a local politician, or find the manager and get friendly! There’s no wait list they just don’t want you to sell the watch!
Steps to getting a Rolex!
Buy pre-owned.

Nah this is cap, I’ve already bought 4 Rolex from my AD, they offer me a Daytona panda and also a white gold , a metiorite Pepsi all with out waiting but the catch is IF you buy this other stuff too we will sell it , for the panda they wanted me to buy a full gold JLC and then they sell the Daytona to me
I walked in with my mom yesterday they offered two tone lady date just to her and 9 different ones on the wall, including all gold presidentials and other mens two tones. The GMTs are off list but paying $15000 for a steel watch is dumb to me. And they said buy before the markup this Saturday . Having already own a few watches, I can’t really justify paying $10,000+ knowing that there are other useful things a working class person like myself can put that money towards.
Also guys like Roman that are making millions from rolexes are the reason why these watches are hard to get for consumers like ourselves
Watches are so delicate and intricately designed, so I have intense respect and admiration for amzwatch watch makers
What an absolutely twisted and backwards approach to sales. Make the customer beg for the “privilege” of owning a Rolex. The grey market leeches and parasites are the problem. Do yourself a favour, research other watch brands and realize that other brands have rich histories as well whether it be Omega, IWC, Longines or Breitling. Purchase what you love and not what you think others will love on your wrist.
Rolex: You want a Rolex ? Sure you can have one just bow down and….. 😮😅
All Seikos are in stock and that’s what I’m buying. To hell with this idiocy.
You were never buying a Rolex- that’s like saying I couldn’t get a rolls Royce so bought a Dacia.
Thank you for the information Roman.
People can save alot of time waiting as well as the headache by buying the Rolex they want from you. No wait list.
Buy what you like from the Secondary market, buy from Roman.😊
❤this episode 😊
Rolex is single-handedly building up the "super replica" watch market. People want to buy a Rolex but they don't want to wait months or years for the watch they want. I don't need to stroke my ADs ego for the privilege of giving him $12,000. I'll take my $600 replica and build a relationship with my future kids instead.
What do I bring to the table as a buyer? How about....... money?
The real scam in the watch market is Rolex itself. With so many other quality watches why would anyone put up with the AD snobs and nonsense. Selling at a market adjusted price means most AD stock is going out the back door to the grey market. Most AD's are just Rolex museums anyhow. There is nothing so unique about Rolex that other watch brands should be overlooked. Finally there are plenty of Super Clones at 10% of the Rolex price that require a microscope to differentiate from the real thing. Oh, and stay away from 47th Street in NYC - Snake Pit.
In 2015 I walked into an AD, left with a no date sub. It seems they had everything in stock... its unreal what has happened
In 2015 I had 2 ADs literally beg , and i mean beg 🙏🏼 me to take the Hulk (116610LV) instead of the black sub date (116610LN) and both offered me multiple discounts after each “no thanks” back then you could get hulks for $4k-5,800 all day even tho they were closer to $8,500msrp ( $5,500-6,750 depending discount) but anyone and everyone would get 10-15% off immediately. I got 35% (15,10,10%) he just kept going down 😂 I was thinking he would go down to cost and I’d take 10 of them 🤣. But John Mayer Daytonas were $25-29k all day
Platinum Daytonas were $48-58k all day
The olive DD40 was going for around $27.5-29k grey .
And all of those watches peaked over $100k several years later (2020-2022)
White gold Pepsis are trading below MSRP secondary.
Just buy a Grand Seiko and move on with your life.
Rolex is stupid. Some many better brands.
Just got a call today from ad that my Daytona Rose Sundust is ready for pickup, 3 months, no history, scandinavia, only visited once before. Unlucky they just increased the price with $2k.
Was told it may take 6-12 months
What is considered to be a "VIP" in case of AD waiting lists?
Someone who is a constant buyer and doesn't buy only the hottest stuff then can be resold for profits immediately
Anyone half smart won’t play the game and merely walks to another premium brand. There are plenty to choose from.
Amen.
not to mention that it is jewlery, completely discretionary....why do you even need a watch when everyone walks around with a smart phone in their pocket that does whatever a watch does plus 10,000 other things. Crazy how people fell for the rolex bubble, then again all krypto brother types.
Is this in USA only?.. I have seen some videos of Rolex stores in Japan where buyers find what they are looking for most of the time and walk away with it the same day.
Pretty much
Ive bought an ExplorerII and a DateJust blue dial fluted bezel on a jubilee with no prior relationship with AD....one in Jan and the other in May......both this year 24.
I have an amazing relationship with my AD, I’ve had every sport model from them except a ceramic Daytona! I’ve been waiting 7 years for one and I CANNOT get one. I have spent over 200k with my ad and still cannot get it! I’m getting married next year and have requested one to wear on my wedding day so I’m hoping they will give me one.
There’s definitely not a waitlist, if it’s a special occasion they can have a watch on your wrist within the week! It’s who they like and if you fit in!!!
If you’ve spent 200k, you can afford to buy one on the secondary market. Of those 200k watches- how many did you sell? Did they know this and don’t want you to have a Daytona to make money on?
Asked for a 41 datejust fluted and a rhodium with diamonds popped up after 2-3 months, purchased a ladies datejust at the same time.
Walked in and was able to get a 36mm mint datejust fluted without any ask a couple months later.
Rolex is the sole reason people are flocking to Omega. And with releases like the white speedmaster. I expect that to continue.
Roles wait list is a scam. No better than TPG
Been on the waitlist for a 37mm Yachtmaster, so I was really hoping you’d cover that 😭
How long so far?
As someone who worked for the top Rolex dealer in the Bay Area this video is hilarious wrong hahaha I miss those days people walking in asking for a “waitlist” sign up hahah knowing we legit had 4 Daytonas in the safe but I wasn’t going to sell it to you lol ohhh but if our sales for the month were low then I’ll just “randomly” call you and say hey bob yea man you’re in luck one Daytonas just came in! Come get it….theb I grab a Daytona from the back stock we have and I sell it to him
Im buying triple A fake
I’ve been waiting 18 months to buy a Datejust. Got fed up and checked out Tudor bb39. They said “buy those and we’ll see what we can do with a Rolex.” Slimy bastards 😂
13 months 5 days for an Explorer from a small town AD north of Toronto. no spend history. request for this watch by email with a follow up by phone to ask if they could let me know when they get one in. no contact until they called me to let me know they had a 224270 and a 124270. i chose the 40mm.
When was this? Looking for the explorer 36mm
minimal waitlists now in NYC for anything NON-Daytona. easy to get most Rolexes from ADs just take a few months. The Rolex market is dead. The Grey market is even more dead.
Best video ever on the analysis
Rolex can kick rocks, I’d rather grab a seamaster and a speedmaster, better watches anyways
Is buying from a Rolex store less expensive than these gray market Rolex's?
I am looking for a Batgirl (to treat myself for my retirement from FDNY 27yrs in Manhattan). Online retailers want 17-20K.. What would I expect to pay if I were to get on a wait list? This is my first Rolex.
Thank you.
Joe
I'm in NYC
Basically what he is saying, the after market is dead!!! The next 3 years in the economy are going to play a big role for all of these watch dealers!!! Believe me they would file for chapter 11!!!
My AD, Mayors in Sarasota, owned by Watches of Switzerland, has all the exhibition models in stock, but i’ve asked to try them on and then i wind it real quick and guess what? The watch works so it’s not an exhibition model, they are playing games. By the way, i’ve been on their fake waitlist for 5 years.
UK (England) / Goldsmiths (Watches of Switzerland Group)
I waited 2 years for a Blue DJ 41 fluted, been waiting just over 3 years for Starbucks Sub
AMAZING VIDEO WEVE BEEN WAITING FOR
The Rolex 💩 watch ⌚ wait list is actually agent dealers selling to grey dealers who mark up ⬆ Rolex 💩 watches ⌚ to sell to actual customers ! Ha ! Ha ! Ha ! Hilarious 🤣
U forgot to cover yacht master would be great if u can cover it over text ?
Consumers have long memories and a Rolex is a product nobody needs. I’ve had one years, but wouldn’t encourage my children to buy one.
Want a Rolex NOW? Go to a pawn shop. Cheaper, too. Nobody needs to know you bought it in a pawnshop.
I got call for white gold skydweller 2024 model, literally 24 hours after walking in and asking.
Sike, even If I was ultra mega rich Id never spend time building a relationship to spend money anywhere.
Just go online and buy a pre owned or ask a friend that already has a relationship to buy it for you, stupidest thing ever.
Just a reminder that theyd sell that shit to someone important or famous immediatelly, dont let others treat you like garbage!
Hala Madrid
the data and content in this vid I've seen on article I found online
Gold and bi metal went up in price for the second time this year in the UK today 😢
Load of bollocks. Gold skydwellers are -30% not 0%. Explorer 2 , white skyD, GMT 2 tone rootbeer is at 0 %. Basically cut 30% from what he is saying.
is there a waitlist for a airking?
I didn't knew about this shit till last week ! I am a poor guy and i only own 1 Tissot prx and always was my dream to own 1 day a Rolex! After 1 year of hard work i saved exactly 5500 pounds to buy my first Rolex a oyster perpetual, so last week i visited the Rolex boutique in Manchester and they told me the exact same!
Well am still upset but i going to buy a Omega Or a Longines or a Hublot!
So in other words, they will profile you if you are rich, have that influence or a powerful person. The rest cannot buy, simply go to resellers which the markup is insane and probably some AD employees might be reselling via 3rd party friend or company. Even Tudor is having that waitlist shit.
Why do you want a Rolex? Ask yourself that question, really. Zenith, IWC, Omega, Glashütte Original, Breitling; do these brands not make sexier watches? Are you buying a watch or making an investment? Buy stocks instead if you are not into watches, you can’t scratch your bonds
I bought a Rolex GMT Master 2 "Rootbeer" to add to my collection of Omega, Grand Seiko, Cartier, G-Shock MRG, Hanhart...
It's a nice accurate watch with 3285 caliber... 70h power reserve
Wanted gmt waited 6 months and switch to a sub and got the call a week later.
Buy Reps. Same watch, same satisfaction, 20th of the cost. No wait list
Same satisfaction!? Sure. Fakes are for losers.
Rolex can let me build my blood up in my DCK and then they can have a relationship with it until the white goo is all over there counter. 🤣💯🤦🏻♂️
Blue SS Sky Dweller - I've been told is the most sought after dial/model and as you say, is for VIP customers only. Mint Green is only worth more on secondary market as it's the newest colour.
Get an Omega and don’t overpay for an overly marketed Rolex.
When I went to an AD less than a week ago to “express interest” in a new Tudor, the guy that handles Rolex & Tudor was on the phone and a replacement was sent to scribble on a card (which likely went into the circular file cabinet since I only bought 3 watches from them before). The Tudor only boutique (different shop) is a more likely source since they don’t have a Rolex salesperson handling Tudor. I buy mostly at Omega and Grand Seiko Boutiques (no jewelry no Rolex to push).
They told me there is a waitlist on the new Tudor GMT, then I asked about the amount of people being on there - she said 1 😂😂😂😂😂
Bought a sports model waited 2 days ,,,,and they never asked for my address, so I could have been from Mars……..yes they sold me display only model
Just be friends with the AD like me and my wife lol.
Arent we at the point where except steel subs and gmts there are not really any overlist models...?
Rolex are crap value for the money. And as common as crap too. People are like sheep. You have to laugh 😂😂
Rolex < LITERALLY ANY OTHER WATCH EVEN THE ONES AT THE DOLLAR STORE
Where are these supposed easy-to-grab TT ladies’ DJs? Been waiting a year already for one 😢
Dont believe any of these waiting times, I got my polar within two weeks without purchase history, its only about which expression you make to the sales person
I just got an Explorer 2, black dial. 2 years. I tuned down a two tone SD43, didn’t seem to hurt getting the Explorer 2.
Black dial? When was that ?
Lol and u wonder why this market is in the tank. What other business do fight with other morons to pay above value.
For the US you are correct, but for Europe, they are incredibly courteous and accommodating. We just bought a 31 mm Datejust and a Skydweller from an AD in Barcelona, Spain. Not only got a 5% discount but a 15.7% tax return. The United States ADs (Mayors etc), are acting bratty as always. They are pure assholes when it comes to customer relationship.
they can keep their watch as long as they want now, nobody want a overpriced piece of crap in 2024
Calling bs on daytona - for many years no one wanted them and i can recall many were selling well under list on used market in 2015 when I waa buying up other models.. Most who buy them dont even like them [hard to read the time].
I fixed my waitlist problem - I stopped buying!
These reindeer games that Rolex plays is part of the reason why people buy super clones. Its not worth the hassle.
Rolex's business model was always doomed. They are not exclusive enough for the super rich, they have always been an 'aspirational' brand for people who really cant afford it. If you stop selling to those people, they will simply move onto something else, because they are not actually interested in watches.
sounds more like a abusive relationship
Let me tell you smtg, rich people don’t take lines, if you want a Rolex go to some retailer and buy one for 3 or 4K more and be happy! The thing is the waiting list of for “cheaper” rolex (in most cases) under 11/12k (day just or GMT for instance) if you want something with gold, diamonds etc above 20k just walk in and probably you will get some! I’m not wondering about this, I just did it in 2 different Rolex stores and they offered me models ready to go above 18/20k
Truth is most of people looking for entry models wanna buy to flip 😃👍🏻
Got a 41mm Wimbledon smooth and oyster as a walk in. Can’t get a 41mm green Op or 36mm pink OP. Rolex definitely has great watches but I will probably jump to Cartier and Omega since I can’t get another affordable Rolex.
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, these numbers and time frames make good sense. I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.
I wanted a sea dweller, got it in less than a month.
Prices have fallen dramatically. I know for a fact that ADs sell to Grey Market dealers in my local area. this GM dealer told me himself. he just has to buy a bunch of junk as well.
Hope people someday boycott this greedy brand
