As a reference, I went to a couple of Rolex dealers and they told me the same story, there is about a 2 year wait list for a new submariner and about a 1 year wait list for the sea dweller.

The "wait list" timing isn't entirely true.
If you're a good customer at your AD, you can get a watch that's on the "wait list" MUCH sooner.
I have purchased four new Rolex's from my AD (plus various jewelry for the wife/family) and can get a Sub right now if I want it. The GMT BLNR is also hard to get, but they have three in the back room that they keep for special clients needs. If anyone walks-in off the street and asks for a GMT BLNR the response will be to put you on the "wait list."
I have my name in for a new Daytona. They have over 60 names on the list, but I should have one in a couple of months.
