...nor here. Without (much) exaggeration, if a display like that popped up here, most of the stock would be gone in about an hour

From everything that I've heard that SS models are hard to get in the some places I would suspect that's the entire country's SS supply in that case... I would jump on those if you can.

No doubt, you forgot the full suite of PM models

But the OP's pic is probably two to three months allocation for most Aussie AD's

There was no line and no-one in the store other than 10 staff.
Evidence the mining boom really is over

Well done on picking up the BLNR

Same here in Singapore.

No Daytonas, BLNRs, green Subs, Sea-Dwellers, Deep Blues and even normal Subs on display.

You will however, find Explorer IIs, black GMTs, Milgausses, YM and YM IIs and the occasional no-date Sub.

It's possible the SD43 is the very first one in this country.
We may never get to see another before the end of the year.

Crown Towers. More SS models in the safe. Got BLNR and Hulk.

SS Daytona went to some lucky tourist that was staying at the Crown Towers hotel on the day the boutique opened. Walked past the window, saw the watch and bought it on the spot.

Wow, lucky timing. I was in Perth this past January. I would have been there when the doors opened as I looked into AD's before my trip down under. To stumble upon a SS Daytona in a window?? Youza!!

Pretty amazing to see 2 SS Ceramic Daytonas in the window. Even in the US, you don't see that. The other watches...can be had pretty easily in the US...but nonetheless that is an amazing display window.
