The waiting list is a bit too much! I had forgot I’d gone on it! Literally waited two years. Great watch though. You can check on the website where you are on the list. They normally release about 250-300 units at a time. So a rough way to work it out is to see what number you are and divide it by 250 and you’ll get the answer in months. So if you are 1000 in line then you have a 4 month wait

It’s got to be the jubilee for me. Really comfortable and looks great with a fluted bezel. For me it suits the datejust and I think the datejust should be a bit more dressy than the other Rolex models. The scratches don’t show either. The middle link of an oyster picks up lots of visible scratches
Yeah Vacheron aren’t in that group-they go under the radar, a bit. Interestingly though their sales have been increasing because of the lack of availability of the other three brands you’ve named. I think it may become harder to buy them as a consequence
Well they probably won’t be making any money on them-well not as much as they would have a couple of years ago…
Seems to me that buying watches as an investment shouldn’t be the driving reason to do so. Rolex has had a large number of its customers buying them for this reason alone. It has made it problematic for Rolex, I think. It has meant those people who want to just purchase a Submariner to wear it have been edged out in favour of the collectors, who either flip the watch or put it away in their safe. Seems that things are changing and with many models now selling below retail the ADs are struggling to shift certain models. This will hopefully make Rolex easier to purchase for those that just want to buy a watch they like and wear it as it was designed to be.
Buy what you like and don’t worry what other people think! Though constructive advice from others is ok. I would say don’t rush into impulse buys and don’t sacrifice saving up for the watch you really like by getting something that scratches an immediate itch. You will always still want the one you really want-or the many you want 😂
