Every watch has the tag, but I don't know that the exhibition pieces have the other.

Walked into local AD today.
For sale:
Day date 40 black dial,
Yachtmaster 37 rose gold on OF
Full gold Skydweller
Gold skydweller on Oysterflex.

They said they’d been through the entire list of registrations for those pieces and no takers.

They have jacked up the prices of full PM pieces that even with the 10-15% discount that is coming soon it will cost just as much as couple of months ago at regular store price ..

Please see post 58, right above your post.

My AD has another Rolex window display with no prices and the "Exhibition Only" sign. It is encouraging to see more Rolex models for sale in the window. TTs are now appearing. If the increase in availability continues I expect the first SS model for sale to be a YM, since this was the last SS model being offered before the madness.

I agree - my first post was done because of the surprise at seeing a SS model in the window looking for a buyer. Hopefully we are seeing the beginning of the end of the availability madness.

Yes I am sure. They offered it to me.

[Podmornica]

LoL, can't believe people are still surprised that a $40K plain yellow gold day date is offered to a walk in customer, like it's some sort of a miracle .. No one stays at the top forever ..

I was in Dubin last weekend and saw for sale a DD36RBR, RG Skydweller on OF and YG full gold sky dweller. With VAT back for tourists I was tempted with the RG SkyD on OF. In London I saw a YG Skydweller for sale, guess it starts at the top and filters down.

[TTSubforMe]

I was at my local AD over the weekend. Only watches available are the ones that nobody wants.

It's the new dial 2023 release I think. Nice

She did not laugh, but apologized for not having it in stock.
She asked me if I wanted anything else, told her a SS Daytona, no go on that one too, of course.
However, she offered me a TT Skydweller that was in the back.
Over the last 2 years I have been into many AD's, the best I was offered was a small bottle of water. LOL
So is this a change in supply/demand? No one knows for sure but I was surprised they offered me anything.

Is this a poem or lack of paragraphs

[Mini2]

Lots of stock and not many buyers
Majority selling below list
God knows how these retailers are going to sell some of them watches and just imagine rolex raises prices again. Will be a good way for rolex to chop the more independent retailers for not pushing the sales

Which configuration of the Gold SKydweller on OF ??

[kaiserphoenix]

I feel also due to the UK not having any VAT refunds, the pricing in the UK is fairly high compared to other countries, maybe this is affecting stock levels as well.

Not a YG guy by any means but this is such a classic piece. Someone is going to be very happy to stumble upon that being for sale.

Not the Everose Skydweller.

Friend just sold his ‘22 Chocolate dial all Everose Skydweller for £44,000 to a Grey dealer he knows in North London/Hertfordshire and they have a buyer at £47,750

I find it sad that people are no longer buying a Rolex watch because they like the watch, but instead are turning them down because they can't make a profit by selling to the secondary market. On the other hand if this trend continues it is only good news if more watches become available for buyers who actually want to buy from an AD.

True, I think it is good news.
But I guess a lot of people are thinking about their mortgages going from 1% to 6% etc in the coming years and just a bit more hesitant at dropping £30-40k on a watch with that uncertainty.

Genuine end users always have and always will buy watches that they like - the issue is the speculators who only liked the watches because they could make money on them.

The less popular models have always sat unsold or been discounted so hopefully just the start of normality returning as the speculators disappear. All we are seeing now is which watches the genuine end users don’t like!
