i think all countries will have a problem over the next few years... and it will impact the ADs.

In the Dominican Republic, there are now many well off Russians, Kazakstanians and Venezuelans acting like kings...all because of oil and natural gas. Jumbo jet loads arrive every day, even with direct flights from Moscow with all of them looking to spend their money. Big houses, big cars and big watches. I have been here for 20 years...this is a new era. I believe there will be a luxury market where and whenever affluence is being created. Someone told me Edmonton and Calgary are boom towns because of the oil found in the sands nearby. I'm sure that the Rolex ADs in those towns are very happy. |

My AD in Nottingham U.K. rarely has any SS sports Rolex in the window. The last Sub Date they had sold within a day as did the GMT IIc they had. Never seen a Milgauss, saw a Sub LV once but that didn't last that long. Was told last week that they don't expect to see a DSSD in the window for 5 years!!!

Recently in 2 different areas of the country, Hawaii and north of Orlando.
The Hawaii stores were loaded with people buying,, i had to wait 10 minutes to speak with someone. They sell a ton of Date Just's in Honolulu mostly to visiting Asians. In the AD near Orlando there were 5 people looking at Rolex s. I was there before the increases this past week and maybe it caused a sell off. It did not appear that the economy was taking a hit or Rolex sales were slowing down. In fact I bought me a Daytona SS.. D |
