Looks sky dweller PM models struggle to sell. Lots of walk in availability in various UK ADs.

Amazing! *Sarcasm*

Call me when you start seeing Explorer2s becoming available, that is when it will get interesting.

These models were literal dogs before 2019

i have mixed feelings about Bucherer, Covent Garden.

they were very dismissive/rude with me when i asked about an Explorer

but very good with the Tudors

thanks for letting us know. It is good to see watches being available. A year or two ago, any rolex in window was near impossible.

Thanks for letting us know - very kind.

Prestons (in the UK) also has a walk-in SkyDweller in rose gold available, on the OysterFlex - slate grey dial.

I guess they are getting rid of the previous gen Skydweller to make way for the new gen 9002 skyd.

What's this like in the flesh? Really like the slate dial, annoyingly only available on the rose gold model and not on white gold......

They were begging me to buy those PM models the other day! That branch is known to supply greys and flippers; The manager runs an auction model there. Now their customer base is no longer buying watches and they are dumping PM models to ordinary people!

PM is now very much a "buy it only because you love it" game.

Don't be flattered to be offered one because they are not shifting so well in the current climate.

Only thing that would tempt me is a Smurf but alas it was too nice so they scrapped it

Very easy to purchase a gold SD on bracelet from an AD. Seen them available several times, even during 2020-2021 peak madness.

When we get the first Submariner sighting then we know we turned the corner.

They have dozens and dozens of submariners in the back! I know this branch very well. They won't put anything on display that trades above MSRP! Those with highest bid get the watch at this AD!
