If I could go back in time, that SD4K would be on my wrist out the door!

Nice looking selection!!!

(but take away the SS items, and other pieces are pretty much readily available now too. )

shapa · 12 December 2018, 09:26 AM

Pretty cool. Yes, we shall see that again. Another recession likely not too long away. Just part of the economic cycle.

brandrea · 12 December 2018, 09:26 AM

That’s crazy isn’t it Danny

nick800 · 12 December 2018, 09:26 AM

I’ve never seen a WG GMT in AD’s from Europe to Asia, in two years

Rolex Essex · 12 December 2018, 09:33 AM

Damn! That’s a lot of Submariners.

siempreko · 12 December 2018, 10:08 AM

A lot has changed since 2016!

Bigblu10 · 12 December 2018, 10:14 AM

The good ol days!

1665fan · 12 December 2018, 10:16 AM

Looks like the greys showroom lol

ace12 · 12 December 2018, 10:38 AM

If only i could go back in time.

Easy E · 12 December 2018, 11:07 AM

Given how many ADs are getting displays with fewer slots I’m thinking we are still on the long side from seeing this again.

Ooooo....wow!! Sweet memories indeed! The way things should be and hopefully will be in the foreseeable future. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

SS Oyster · 12 December 2018, 11:12 AM

Saawweeeeet! Would love to see that again.

Gotgolf52 · 12 December 2018, 11:14 AM

But people wouldn’t buy it when the case is full. Human nature only want what we can’t get.

Nikrnic · 12 December 2018, 11:19 AM

Wow, how things have changed so quick. That is almost Unbelievable!

Part of it is so true

walw · 12 December 2018, 11:33 AM

This is awesome! As someone who just got into Rolex's this year, I can honestly say I've never seen something like that before! :D

TheFuture · 12 December 2018, 11:33 AM

Once the market goes south I have a feeling you'll be able to pick them up on discount!

Justinmg · 12 December 2018, 11:37 AM

It’s all greed, from flippers to greys... it will all come full circle

Perhaps to order, but even taking the SS out, my ADs case didn't look anything remotely like that last week.

I remember those full cases well Danny! I saw one like that in Aug 2017. The good ole days indeed. My guess is we will see something similar around Q4 2019-Q2 2020 if the current economic forecasts are correct. By then SS BLROs will be 10-11K, maybe even 9250 , and you will even be able to get a SS Daytona for under 20

stylinleems · 12 December 2018, 11:52 AM

When I purchased my 116610LV in November 2017, this is what the AD cases looked like, had three trays of DJs and DDs also (the good ole' days is correct) - now I regret not picking up the SD43 as it was just sitting in the case:

watchwatcher · 12 December 2018, 12:37 PM

Day-um. To answer your question...nope.

If you knew then what you know now, buying the 24 in those 2 pics would have made quite a profit by now.

I totally agree... Sigh...

JR16 · 12 December 2018, 01:00 PM

Won’t see this again anytime soon... all the displays being replaced with fewer watch slots per case... so maybe they will be “full” but number of watches will be lower.

Sad state of affairs these days indeed. I refuse to play the game and don't even waste time going to ADs anymore.
