It is surprising how long certain types of "new" products can stay in the supply line. Unlike cars guns, watches, jewelry ect can easily sit in warehouses for years.
My Seiko divers self-winding watch was 5 years old when it was bought new in the Base BX in 1986.
I have heard that Rolex can be in the pipeline even longer.
