I qualify as a normal walkin for my first 2 SS models. I must be fortunate they sold to me instead of VIPs.
So you think the "waiting list" helps?!

Best for now is to walk the ground, asked the ADs as much as when you can, and hope for a 'miracle'. I have seen that happened a few times with the ADs. All walk-ins, non-VIP customers, one bought a SD 50th anniversary; one a Submariner date; and one a GMT-Master II - all SS models.

Just late last year, my friend walked in to an AD to ask for a 116710LN. There was no stock at that moment and he left his name and left. A week later, the AD called him and told him a piece had arrived. He went down a couple of days later and bought it. And that was the first time he bought a watch from the AD.
And that's not all. Two weeks after he bought the watch, he went to the same AD to window-shop with no serious intention to buy watch. During casual chat, the AD told him a Submariner 116610LN just arrived earlier in the morning and asked if he was keen to buy. He bought it straightaway! What was infuriating was, the AD actually had the cheek to tell him that there was a queue for the Submariner but since he was there and can buy the watch instantly, she did not want to waste time to call those in queue.

As for the Submariner, .. am still kicking myself for not getting the no date version earlier this year when I chanced upon it at Grassy, Madrid, Spain. Was going at S$9.6K. Argh!
