Not heard of a d blue seen in the wild for a while. Frustrating as I turned one down from an AD pre price rise as I wasn't in a position to pay it cash and needed interest free cresit

All still there today. Couple of Milgauss, SS YM2 and a Deepsea there as well.
Surprised the GMT is still there - they usually go pretty quickly.

If you are looking to buy it, why not phone ahead and pay a deposit

When you see a popular model in the window be wary that it hasn't been returned. I've had ADs tell me this is why they are in the window, as usually they have clients waiting.

The short supply issue seems to be spreading to Singapore. When out wandering last week, we poked our noses into several ADs and we didn't see a single SS Sub, GMT or YM; there were no SD or DSSD, Explorers I or IIs either and no Milgauss. All we saw apart from DJs were a couple of TT Daytonas, a Leopard Daytona and a YG GMT.

As I have said before, I really don't think a price increase will help in the UK. The watches are not going to flow after imo

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 put my name down on all the south coast dealers for a D blue, after about ten weeks I was offered two, maybe just lucky I suppose.
I also know of a d blue in a trusted watch dealers in Bournemouth if any body interested. |

Did you put your name down over the phone or in person? On the list at Fraser Hart in London but they tell me they get one every 7-8 months. |

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 |

I was speaking to a local AD and he was saying they are having great sales. Their last month was very good in Rolex sales. People are buying and will continue to buy. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk |
