Is the Bubble Bursting

Went to AD yesterday and picked up two new rolexes (OP 31 Green and a new Submariner No Date). We had a nice conversation and the salesperson mentioned they are now getting 25 Rolexes per week compared to 5 per week a month ago. He said getting Date Just were pretty easy now. Went back by AD today (my office is down the street) and he had a 126334 in the Window for sale. Also went to two Rolex non dealers and they said they have also heard supply is increasing alot.

Anyone else experiencing increased Retail options? Falling Grey Market prices?

Unless this is the largest WoS account ever, I absolutely doubt any AD is receiving 25 watches weekly. From every AD in the US that I've visited, they have all told me that annual intake is usually 500-550. Receiving 1000+ watches a year would be pure insanity!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree and I may have misunderstood....maybe he meant 5 per month compared to 25 per month. I know at their peak before covid he said that they normally had 300+ Rolexes in inventory.

But the bigger picture is anyone else seeing increased supplies????

I guess everything is bigger in Texas. I think the bubble is FAR from bursting anywhere else. In New England there is ZERO inventory out in the cases. Not to say there aren't watches here, but not enough to actually be put on the floor. Good for you on the Sub.

Was in Schiphol Airport Amsterdam a few days ago. No Rolex at Gassan, not a single one!
All sold.

I saw a Wimbledon, Blue Romans, and a Rhodium DJ41 today. There were also some 36 DJs and a few OP41s. Several smaller mixed metal refs too.

Stock seems to be trickling in...

There's a $16,000 black sub date listed now in the classifieds here. Jeez, so much for Cyber Monday pricing!

Holidays. I’m sure there will be a boost in inventory (briefly).

Damn! My Rolex portfolio took a slight dip today because of this thread. But I also bought the dip (brains, Harvard) so Rolex people (best) win again.

Local AD's near me have resorted to displaying only dummy Rolex. Inventory still low.
