iMO if there was a price rise, it won't mean that SS sports models will suddenly hit AD's windows. That's up to Rolex I'm afraid.

I did a bit of Burlington Arcade window shopping during the week and was quite surprised that even there stocks were really light. Only one LVc well above RRP, and not many other SS Sports even at their silly prices. Even the "wonderful" vintage shop had less stock than I've previously seen, no 1680 Reds but a fair collection of "rare" 1680 Whites with replacement hands and no bracelets for £11k.
I think most of the older UK SS sports models as well as the new stuff has been snapped up by buyers from abroad. I suspect the UK will have shortages even with a price increase for quite a while to come
