Rolex Sub 116610 LN noob v5 out of stock - need advice on next steps....

[bissell]

Hello,

Newbie here so please excuse my inexperience. I placed an order with a TD for a noob sub v5 116610LN and send my WU payment and received payment confirmation. I then receive an email stating it's out of stock, but they have the 116610 LV (green bezel) that they can ship immediately, which I declined since this is my first rep and I have my heart set on the 116610ln v5. I have to admit, I was very disappointed to receive the out of stock email, and I did not accept their offer for the 116610 LV. I decided to ask how long would I have to wait until they receive 116610 LN back in stock. They weren't sure and thought maybe 1-2 weeks, which I guess I could live with that.

Is anyone else receiving out of stock replies on their orders for the same watch?

Do you think it is worth it for me to wait? I guess what I'm asking is, are the chances good that they will receive this particular watch back in stock within 2 weeks or so? (I would think it's a popular model)

I was so excited about this and receiving the QC pics, that now it's like I went from excitement to being concerned/disappointed etc..

What are your thoughts on this situation and how to best proceed? I really, really want this watch!

Thanks for tolerating a total newbie!:calm:

Who did you order with?

Who did you order with?

It was with Pure Time. I asked if it was in stock before ordering.

 

[Ardbeg]

I hope I don't receive the same notification.

 

[DJT1]

Don't worry my friend. We've all experienced this at sometime or another. Atleast your with a great dealer who will get the restock first.

 

[Ardbeg]

I personally think the v5 will be worth the wait.

 

[bissell]

I hope I don't receive the same notification.

I hear you Ardbeg...I'm fairly patient. But I guess I need some reassurances from some more seasoned members...they know more about these things. And they may know if this watch has a good chance of being stocked soon. I'd be lying if I wasn't just a bit stressed right now lol

 

[bissell]

Thanks DJT1...I do hear good things about Pure Time and they seem to have a great relationship with the Noob factory. I'm going to wait and hopefully good news will arrive! Waiting is the hardest part. I guess the song by Tom Petty is true...

As You really want it and imho it´s a fine rep to get just put in the waiting time, be it 2, be it 4 weeks. Best is to forget about this one, research on the forum and look for the next one You would like, maybe a Tudor Blackbay or the vintage looking Omega 300m co-axial etc. If I was You meanwhile, by beginning next week, I would place this second order with another TD.

Sometimes, when there are pre-orders for future new releases, the members wait for 3 months and longer after payment, so it´s not unusual.

Hurry up wait same old story. Enjoy the anticipation grass hopper!

I ordered my v5 with Ryan (InTime) earlier today, he said he'll have the watch from the factory in about 3 days.

I hear some talk on the forums about a revised version of the v5 coming out in the next few days - this may be why many dealers seem to be out of stock. But whether or not the revised v5 actually exists I do not know, it may just be a marketing play.

 

[bissell]

Thanks for the feedback fellas! I also conclude that waiting it out is the best course of action..I'm sure intime (Ryan) will take good care of you, I've heard many good things about their business. I went with Pure Time (Angus) because of equally good reviews and their well established history in this business and their scope and influence. In the future I think I'll stick with either Ryan or Angus....not to get sidetracked here...come on v5!!

 

[Mendota]

Both are great dealers. I don't have experience with Ryan but Angus is a very helpful and stand up guy.

I also requested a V5 from sead early this week and he said out of stock for another 10 days approx due to a "update" on the watch

get your money back and wait until people start unloading them on M2M

Agreed. I've previously ordered from PT and had a very positive experience.

I ordered my v5 noob from Ryan. I have received my QC pics and the order is in route.
I assume I will be receiving the original v5 version if a 'revised' version does in fact exist.

You must have just gotten your order in the nick of time for v5...looks like the out of stock is pretty widespread. Keep us updated on your order.

[Ardbeg]

bissell, Will do. I know we are both really excited to receive the v5.
