Some great pickups there.

Especially a 114060 - a superb watch.

That's the AD I used for my most recent purchase... tempted to go just to look, though it's not a short drive so maybe I'll pass.

My sincere hope:

Rolex waits until the greys have completely loaded up on all SS models (by overpaying) and then to inflict Max pain they flood ADs with them, thereby sticking the dealers with tons of underwater inventory.

I would laugh and laugh and laugh...

TBH this almost seems plausible... more plausible than the purported conspiracy between Rolex, ADs, and greys to funnel all sales through greys at an absurd markup to enhance “exclusivity.”

I second that! Kudo's to Greg! Nice to see folks sharing AD inventory availability and thwarting the Grey market. Three big Cheers!

Just called as I was contemplating going to try stuff on. The no date Sub is sold. They still have the two Sub Dates.

Still undecided whether I will go, it’s a 4 hour drive round-trip and the no date is the one I would have been interested in.

114060 seems harder to get these days, I was offered 2 date models whilst awaiting my Non Date.

Early congrats,Eric.

Nice to read at least one of these went to a buy-n-wear guy before Ali Baba and his forty profiteers swooped in.

Lol! Wouldn't that be a funny thing if it came true!

Wouldn't it be weird to say?........"I walked into a local AD today. I've never been there before and never bought anything from them before. Bought a new Pepsi GMT at a little bit off of MSRP after haggling some."

It would be a good shot across their bow and also a way to saddle them with enough debt to put some of the small-timers out of business.

I went Christmas shopping Thursday and spotted a Green Milgauss on display surrounded by dozens of TT DJ’s, just dozens of them......
Even the Tudor AD was lacking SS..... no Heritage chrono’s or GMT’s, but quite a few TT’s
This was in Kingston in the UK
