Maybe times are changing
A walk past one of my two local ADs in Glasgow and I saw in the window, available for sale, brand new:
1 x Tudor BB58 on the fabric strap (very tempted) 2 x Tudor BB GMTs on leather straps 1 x Blue TT sub (its been there for over a week) 1 x TT Skydweller black dial 1 x TT Skydweller white dial And a smurf Appreciate its nothing exciting in Rolex SS, but for the UK, that's quite a shift.

And my AD says that a TT Sky or TT Sub are hard to get

Nope - this isn't a WOS AD but an independent

58's and GMT's are available much more now, especially on leather/nato.
TT skydwellers I think have always been that bit more available here in NI, regularly see them in the window of local AD. I still haven't seen a steel sports rolex new in the window in years. |

I went into Laings, Glasgow on the 16th November - they had the SMURF then, plus SA had suitable sales manner to match it.
As for the Tudors I know Fraser Hart etc., have been holding them back out of the window since the Summer as least as I was offered a "special one" myself LOL! ...they were really trying to ride the Rolex shortage wave - there is a thread about it opened when someone saw a BB GMT on Bracelet in window of WOS (I think Leeds??) I know for sure as my local AD was quite miffed about it and muttered that "they werem't supposed to be doing that!" |

I saw the TT sky-dweller in white but not black. Maybe they just got the black one? I’ve seen a TT blue Sub in Laings window a few times and last time it sat in the window for a good few weeks. I suppose a few weeks before Christmas people aren’t flush with cash (unless it’s steel sports lol) |

Nice to hear my friend
Sounds very similar to what I’ve seen here, except for the SD’s. Every now and then I’ll see and Exp2 or a DSSD mixed in with some PM pieces. |

Maybe times are changing in Glasgow, or Scotland. I visited my AD in Bath yesterday. Nothing has changed. I have had a TT Black dial Sky Dweller on order from them since January this year. I hope your sighting is a sign of something more widespread. It's not happening down here yet.

I saw my first BB58 in person Wednesday night in the window of the local Ben Bridge. Same store has also had all variations of Tudor GMT on display in the last few months. As is often noted, most Rolex buyers don't covet the same things we do here, my AD has been busy every time I go by lately.
