Steel Sport in Stock

It seems everyone is searching for the hard to find steel sports models. I’ve also noticed random posts stating someone has spotted one one at a local AD. Would it help or be possible to have a thread where users can post the model/AD where it is currently in stock. Sort of a crowd supported inventory?

I’m sure this was started but ended up with people doing posts about seeing the usuals suspects of Yacht Masters, Milgauss, Explorer 2 and Two tone bi-metal pieces

I’d be inclined to include the Explorer II, etc and all others deemed steel sports models. Some areas especially in the U.S. have non in stock including the Exp and Exp 2.

True, even these in recent times have become harder to get.

Despite all of the posts that make this forum, TRF rules state:

Quote:
(iii) TRF IS NOT A SHOPPING SERVICE SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK WHERE OR WHO YOU CAN BUY SUCH AND SUCH A WATCH FROM, WHICH AD OR PERSON TO SHOP AT, OR THAT YOU WANT SOMEBODY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU FOR YOUR DESIRES. IF YOU WANT TO BUY OR ARE LOOKING FOR A PARTICULAR WATCH OR ACCESSORY USE THE "WANTED TO BUY" BOARD ONCE YOU HAVE MET THE FORUM REQUIREMENTS.

Not sure how your idea would work

LOL for anything but a yachtmaster, this would just be "let me save legwork for the flipper who will get there first." And I feel sorry for the lone AD who randomly has a skydweller blue "spotted" in their case...after selling it to the first flipper, they get 20,000 phone calls because someone spotted it and told TRF lol

I also think this would be nice and started a thread for this a few months back: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=591203

It never took off, though, so I just left it alone.
