Rolex Explorer

I was wondering how hard it is to get the Rolex Explorer 124270 from an AD! Is it easier now or unchanged?

If you have a relationship with an AD, maybe. If not, it’s just really a matter of luck. From what I hear, datejusts and no-date subs are the easiest ones to get these days. Good luck!

I think it's getting easier. Got offered one last week. I'm sure you'll get the call soon.

Thats good! Unfortunately, I dont have a relationship with an AD! Was hoping to try my luck later this year, maybe around the summer! A no date sub would be my second pick! I just really love the look!

China was a huge market for rolex and with the economic downturn there and the UK along with others is going to make watches easier to get.

Beautiful! Congrats on the watch! 😃 Hoping to have one as well one day!

I’d say, start sooner rather than later. I (literally) visited all the ADs in my city (about 4 or 5) before met with a very nice salesperson who truly rooted for me and helped me get my grail (without a purchase history). It takes time, even these days. Hope you get lucky and get it sooner than expected. Send some pictures once you do! 🥃

Lets hope so! My first option is to buy it in person! But I will see what happens!😊

Go to your local AD to start the process and get an understanding of timing.

Thank you for the encouragement! I only have one AD nearby, but hopefully I will be able to visit more. I will send some pic once I get it!😊

Good advice! I will hopefully go there soon!

·

Not sure. Less than 6 to 8 months surely? Good luck 🍀 👊🏻

·

Whatever the wait time is it is worth it, also get in there and register your interest as soon as possible because it will probably take awhile the sooner you can register your interest the better.

·

They're more readily available than the ADs are letting on. They can't flood their stores, so they're drip feeding them.

Should be within 12 months .. it’s not a hype piece as such , therefore less demand than a Sub, GMT and Daytona. It’s an amazing watch , visit your local AD and ask the question how long will it take ! The Explorer doesn’t sell for much over retail from second hand ( gray ) dealers so that’s an option if the ADs aren’t playing ball . Good luck 🤞

That is an option as well since they dont go for much above retail, which is good! I will let them know im interested! I will for sure post a picture once I get it! Hoping maybe, if Im lucky, to get it around summer!

Wow, thats amazing! Congratulations!😃

Do you really want to play the stupid waiting list game? For around that price there are watches you can walk in an just buy.

Unless it really has to be a Rolex. If not, save your dignity.

·

if you are shooting for summer start now, dont be discouraged I think the comment above about going to 4 to 5 local ad's and running into the right associate is correct, you need to do that, you will run into the right person and a few months later you should get it.
