I put my name on the waiting list for the 226570 Polar in Oct 2021. I followed up today. They called me back and said I'm still on the list but it'll be another year until they MAYBE get one in stock to sell to me. No rush on my side. I do appreciate that they called me back though

Yeah this waiting around to see if an AD / SP decides it’s your turn to be blessed is absurd …

my ADs also encourage their customers to post a review on google for the store and while thats cool and all, promises that im next and i constantly see these reviews with the new explorers are annoying

I'm not reading into it too much, b/c I'm in no rush. This waiting time/list is arbitrary: if it's ca. another 12 months, ok. But anything longer than that, I chalk it up to the global hype.

They twisted my bros arm into purchasing a 36mm explorer and a 34mm oysterdate to get a 41mm YG Sub, I can ask him if he'd sell it.. but I'm sure he'd want like 9-10k.
I think it is fully stickered also.

Don’t blame you. I used to buy discounted or nothing. Sure glad I started actually paying retail for things when I did though. Would’ve been kicking myself in the head.
Ehh I still do. Passed on too many nautilus’ for 5-10% off a few years ago.

im with you, missed out on 5711 twice because i was too concerned on its size
but hindsight 20/20 like i want the white ceramic daytona so bad but refused to pay $15k... 18k... 20k... and now davidsw has a used one for $53k
shoulda just swallowed it and paid over retail in hindsight
as a consolation, ive hold on to my pride and stuck with retail or nothing...

I like my Daytona, but definitely not worth 50K, but if that’s what the market demands…
Has anyone seen the new green GMT in person?
