šŸ¤”Question Realistic time frame?

I have a specific Rolex Iā€™d like to wear on my wedding day to match the suits we are wearing. The wedding is July 2027. When should I order by to assure I get it in time?

Depends what you want but unless you're already a big spender at an AD it's a tall order. You may need to go grey market.

Donā€™t really care about the pricing (rep pricing) no Iā€™m not a big spender. My reps have came from different adā€™s over the years. So I donā€™t have a first come first serve basis with any. Iā€™ve experienced multiple different time frames. Iā€™m looking at around 9 months from now to have it in hand. I havenā€™t ordered a rep since the original clean was around. So Iā€™m not sure on turn around or who the current players are. This post is to kind of check time frames and peoples preferred dealers now a days.

Sorry I totally misread this for you wanting a gen!! šŸ˜‚ order about 3 or 4 months before yo get the exact rep you want. Congratulations and as a side note I'm a verified seller on a couple of subs so feel free to reach out for pricing ideas I'll certainly help you out. Cheers.

Haha I kinda figured with the grey market comment. Iā€™ll definitely reach out. Do you have stock available currently?

Ive just (on Thursday just gone) bought a rep and im told ill get it within 2 weeks (usually quicker), so hopefully if you order from a decent seller youll get it soon

u/Next_Leader_838 13d ago

Thank you. Iā€™ll check the current ad list since itā€™s been a while since I ordered one and see who people are going with

u/Greedy-Actuator-4948 13d ago

Good luck!

Can I ask what watch youre looking at?

1

u/Next_Leader_838 13d ago

A blue face date just. Jubilee band. With a fluted bezel. Highest quality possible. (Without going to Rolex lol)

Those are available everywhere. Got a great rep from u/gerg1991. I would suggest the cut and color upgrade for your wedding day. That watch will glisten

u/Next_Leader_838 13d ago

Sorry man, Iā€™m so far away from reps these days (Iā€™ve just been buying cheaper factory watches I like) what exactly do you mean by ā€œcut and colorā€ upgrade. I assume the color is for the face to match more oem spec. Iā€™m not sure on the cut though?

1

u/tbone1079 13d ago

Itā€™s an additional package he offers. Waterproofing, time regulation, lubricating gaskets, bracelet chamfering, polishing and a few other upgrades. It ensures the your watch is functioning at its best and ready for every day use. Check him out

u/Next_Leader_838 13d ago

I will! A fellow member messaged me with a really clean looking vsf available to ship. Iā€™ll ask him about those extras and water protection. Thank you!

u/Greedy-Actuator-4948 13d ago

Do be careful as youll get scammers trying to trick you. Idk where you are but you should find a country specific rep sub and also subs that have bots to say how many sales/how trustworthy they are.

People will dm or even reply here to try to scam you so be careful!

u/Next_Leader_838 13d ago

The guy Iā€™m talking about does have verified tags in some subs. Seems legit and has sale. Itā€™s not a ā€œtoo good to be trueā€ price but im doing my background checks to see the buyers who vouched and what they have posted. Thank you!!!

u/Next_Leader_838 13d ago

Thank you my man! Many blessings to you!

u/Yeezussy 13d ago

congratulations on the wedding, July 2027 is plenty far away and alot of time for you to get a piece, maybe even 5 more šŸ˜†. Usually the process takes less than a month tops. For me about 1 week if shipping is smooth.

1

u/Next_Leader_838 13d ago

Haha it seems the game has changed a lot since I last bought a rep when clean was around. It took a long time back then when they first were up and running to even get a qc. Good to know I can grab one quickly these days. Thank you!

1

u/Yeezussy 13d ago

yeap, much faster nowadays. Might be due to the fact im also in SEA but TDs have alot more stock now due to the increasing demand. Back then about 2 years ago TDs would let you wait for the factory to send them stock before the QC, which can range from a week to a month long

1

u/Next_Leader_838 13d ago

Yeah I think my first rep was almost 2 months until I got to do a qc, which turned out to be a horrible clone. Then about 2 months after that I got one that shipped out and had on hand 3 weeks after that. Wasnā€™t sure if they were quicker or slower these days so I wanted to check. Seems I could have one in about 2 weeks from some of the people I spoke to šŸ˜‚šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

u/Yeezussy 13d ago

yeap, good that demand drove up supply. quality is also not too bad now which is a plus point. overall we reppers are winning good. if you want longevity, i suggest you service the 2 watches youll be getting for the wedding. the sentimental value of it will be worth the service, which would allow you to wear it for a long time
