I wonder how much of a knock on effect the Rolex shortage has made on AP and Patek.

I couldn't get hold of any of the Rolex's I wanted so landed up putting my name down for a Aquanaut as it was one of my "end game watches" anyway and thought, may as well build a relationship with a dealer using watches that I want to have anyway and thought it wouldn't arrive for a long long time, but my AD really came through.

A friend did the same thing. Just gave up on Rolex and started looking at Patek as well.
It's a shame the VC doesn't seem to get the same love, but the Overseas is just... not right at the moment.
