What do you guys make of that? Lip service or reliable info?

I was there yesterday (visited all the high end Rolex shops, including RSC). All had the same message (for me at least) - no stock, nothing coming any time soon. We won't take your name.

A saleswoman at my AD pointed out back in January that Rolex sent them new display's for their cases that had had fewer slots that were more spread out. To make their empty display cases look a bit less barren...

My ad just asked me if I knew anyone looking for a ND or white polar explorer 2 that they just received in. I may be that they are increasing supply?

I didn't watch the whole thing earlier and was at a Deli for lunch where I couldn't hear everything. Now that I got a chance to watch more I realize it isn't just poorly edited and too long, it is also ridiculously exaggerated regarding what the "Rolex lady" revealed.
Nice urinals...that was the highlight. Seriously, is this guy an actual thing on YouTube.?

It's intersting Rolex is leaving the SS sport for the Swatch group (Omega,..) and Richmond Group (Tag,...) to take take advantage of. Omega introduced a brandnew Seamaster 300 with ceramic bezel which looks very good. Rolex meanwhile has the Submariner but has nothing to sale. This day and age, people just don't sit patiently with $$$ in their pocket waiting a few years for a watch, I have no doubt that money will be spent somewhere else.

Rolex trying to let Tudor match with the rest of Swiss watch makers for SS sport?

There is no evidence of increased supply. Fact is Asian market is huge which is impacting US/Euro supply

Lady who doesn’t know anything offered an opinion in a super cringey video.

Funny - was just talking to my AD sales guy at Wempe NYC yesterday. He's taking some time off for surgery starting later this week and I wanted to chat with him and wish him luck on a speedy recovery before the procedure. When I asked how things have been going since the holidays he was saying supply trends have been just the same and didn't seem to have reason to believe things were changing anytime soon.

His videos are totally pointless and completely useless.
