Genkifd it’s the same in the UK. Just a case or window full of those models with the occasional PM model or an Explorer II thrown in.
You used to see the odd Milgaus, YM or black bezelled GMT but they are like hens teeth now as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Why not just buy from a trusted seller on here? The premium is tiny (at least last I checked). |

Mate - I feel your pain & frustration.
I've a story which is "unusual" but I'll try to explain. I organised a refund on a PANERAI I had paid a deposit on - & in turn used the funds to go on a holiday with my family, as well as installed a new oven, cook-top & updated or old sofas...... As I finalised my refund, I was talking with my AD and mentioned how I was interested in the SD126600, to which he replied "you and everyone else!" & that I'd be on the waiting list for a LONG time - possibly 2-3 years. Long story short, we organised & paid for our trip. Afterwards,I had a thought & e-mailed a ROLEX AD in the OS country we were bound for. 12 days later it had arrived, I asked for a photo, confirmed the Retail price (pretty much the same around the world) & placed a deposit on it. I "view" it next Thursday & collect it as I leave the country a week or so afterwards..... So what I'd say is persevere & try "out-of-the-box" ways of getting your hands on one. Good luck mate! |

No offense but you need to relax. msrp is around 11k and I'm not sure thus watch is worth that imho. stop buying them at the inflated prices and it will drop. that simple. personally I'd like one but dealers can respectfully sit on it.

I tried one on at a local grey on Thursday and then asked my sales guy at the AD to let me know when one comes in. Less than 24 hours later I got a call - complete dumb luck as their latest shipment had one (this AD doesn't do formal waitlists, it's FCFS.)
With a little patience, footwork and luck they are obtainable at MSRP. TS would have been 40% more expensive for me assuming a $13,000 BNIB price plus import taxes. |

It sure of the wait list, but my AD said hey had not received any for some time. They had black DS, Sub, Sub date, etc in the display. No GMT, Bluezy, Air King, or rare models though.

In the same time my AD received around 6 BLNRs, 2 LV, 2 D-Blue, at last 3 white dial SS SkyD and a SS Daytona or two, they've only received 1 SD43.

I'm trying to get a 2nd SD43 from a different AD which have not received a SD43 yet. The sale person told me I'm the 1st one on the list for the past 6 months.
This SD43 is rarer than people thought |

I was #3 on my AD list back in the summer when I was added. The last time I checked which was last month, I was #3. So I asked if they had gotten any in. They said one here and there. So what that tells me is #1 they aren't getting many at all and have no real idea when they will, and more importantly #2 when they do get one it it goes to a VIP and it doesn't really matter where you are on the list. It's incredibly frustrating and led me to buy one from a TS on TRF. My only regret is waiting all these months to do it. Should have just bought one from a TS initially back in the fall when they were a little cheaper. Now they have edged up again in cost. Not a huge deal but saving an extra $500 or so would have been nice. I'm still on six waiting lists, not a single call or email from any of them.

I have just seen one at an AD in Salzburg Austria. As I'm from the UK, I wasn't willing to take the hit on exchange rate and foreign transaction%, all amounting to about £1k above UK MSRP

Mine was the first to hit the AD back in May 2017. I was lucky. Can't see that happening with the steel Pepsi.

Msrp is 11,350, sales tax is let's say 6%, that's 12,031. They are listing on here from grays at 14k! How is that "about what you paid without the waiting, running around looking for one"? That's 2k over what you would pay with tax and even more if I just have it shipped over state line, which most AD's will do. So sick of seeing people say this.....

I really don’t care what you hope. I’ve always lost money during my flipping years so I thought it’d be an only opportunity to claw some money back. But, I’m kinda glad they are doing this if I’m honest, and told them so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Bloody Nightmare finding one. Wanting for professional use (Decompression Chambers), Impossible to find one at retail
AD's are super vague throughout Australasia as to when they can supply. Just had one AD offer to put me on an up to 3 year waiting list. |

The watch is worth to wait, my daily watch, really love it.

Well the SD43 came out in 2017 Basel. Did 2018 Basel lower see demand for SD43? Hot items will remain hot items. Irrespective of Basel 2019, one can say with absolute certainly Daytona SS, BLRO SS, and SkyD blue will be extremely difficult to get Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
