Even though I don't live in the UK but I'm pretty sure that's nearly impossible.

There's no Hulks on display. They won't tell you if they have them. If they have them, they're reserved for their VIP's. And it's probably worse in the UK than anywhere else in the world. So for a Hulk, best to save up for grey market. It's very, very unlikely to happen otherwise if you plan to just smooth talk your way into it at every AD in the country.

This is not 2016 anymore. Do some digging in the forums. Even plain LN subs are impossible to find in the UK.

Hulks and Batmans are only for VIP customers now.

I reckon most ADs in the UK do have SS Sport watches but they will NEVER go into the windows (other than YM2 and the odd PM Sub or Daytona).

It’s a challenge but the only way I understand anyone will get a watch is by being patient and hoping one AD will be kind enough to sell you want you’re after

Don’t need to save, can easily get one on the grey, thats easy.... my question was anyone see one from AD? But moreover, i have not seen any sports steel watches in AD at all.

They are out there. I collected mine back in October for retail after waiting approx 18 months with no previous purchase history.

Then I would suggest that it’s best to ask them for one as you’ve got a purchase history with them and therefore should be able to fulfil your demand. Point being is that even if an AD has one in stock, you’ll never know unless they’re willing to sell it you and that from my experience doesn’t happen unless you’ve got a good reason for an AD to entertain you

In all honestly the best chance you have is with your existing AD you have bought many watches from. They have far more incentive to get you the watch you want than anywhere else.

Sad...but that’s the world we’re in at the moment. Literally me and my wife had this conversation with my AD and even they were saying that it’s making their jobs more difficult as they’re having to “try” and cross sell to another model or take a name or now more frequently, just simply having to refuse customers who genuinely want to own a timepiece.

If you bought from them many watch then probably you're well established as an regular customer and probably a VIP. Hence you can persuade them to allocate a hulk for you. Honestly this is your best chance to get it at retail from the AD. Good luck

In a word, tough.

You want to buy the same toy that everyone and their dog wants to buy. Supply and demand means you don’t have the upper hand.

Cut the stress from your life and pick a different watch.

Are you irritated that your 16610 is worth more than you paid for it (presuming you bought it from an AD) or do you only hate the charade when it works against you?

Fly to the state of Florida and see one of the large TS's. You will score one on USA soil. UK? Good luck.

[Stebinners]

I am actually in Florida, Miami next month. Already contacted one today....

My sub, Daytona, and gmt are all worth more. But irrelevant as not for sale ! What pisses me off is the dance you have to do with a dealer !

I agree, ADs do get SS sports watches including Daytonas, GMT's and Subs. Most of them don't put those on display and those watches go to their preferred customers.
