UK SS Sports Stock
Given we appear to have rationing on these models. I plan to help out fellow TRF members as and when I see them in an AD!
As of 1705 today Watches of Switzerland Oxford Street had a Deepsea black face in the window. |

Fantastic idea! Has anyone seen a Hulk at an AD recently? I've been looking for one for quite a while now....
Thanks! |

Could this be due to the falling value of the £? Have prices gone up there since Brexit caused a depreciation of sterling?
I live in Australia but am visiting the UK soon and wondering about picking up a GMTII BLNR but it sounds like that might be hard to find! |

Well we managed to save Marmite from the price risers, so let's try to save the sports Rolex from extinction too! Altho a price rise will help supply most.

##Rolex 'Windsor' had a Deep Sea Black a few days back
Been around London with friends trying to get a GMT or Sub no date No chance, just going on waiting lists. My mate just payed 5600 for a GMT 2 years old.,,really wanted ASAP for his 50th, couldn't wait Deep Blue - cant even be added to list Just get told they haven't seen one for months. Obviously different situation in the US..we all understand that. |

I think every AD has a sea-dweller, that plus EXP2, YM, Milgauss etc.
The interesting models currently will be subc, Blnr, Air King New, D-Blue, DaytonaC, LVc These are the scarce ones just now especially D-Blue and BLNR |

If it was the 116710ln, then yes, that's exactly what the list price is. And 2 years old... a little bit of madness (IMHO).
Cheers, Joe

Picked up a UK Explorer 214270 2016 MK2 this week for few quid below Rolex RRP.
Couldn't be any happier with that. |

I was searching all around London for a GMT 116710ln back in August, gave up in the end and bought one from iconic watches.
Had my name down on several waiting lists, this post might be a bit too late, but I received a call from Fraser Hart in Westfield Stratford last week telling me the GMT was now available if I wanted it. Worth try if anyone is after that particular model and is local. |
