So, I walk into the massive Rolex boutique in NYC this afternoon, the one that’s in the same building that houses the U.S. Rolex headquarters .... and not one steel sports model was available, and only a couple of yellow gold models. No Subs of any sort, no Deep Seas, GMTs, no Explorers or IIs, and of course no Daytonas or the new SD. Nothing. Just hundreds of other models, such as DJs, DDs, and women’s watches.

Sales rep told me they won’t get any more until after Christmas. Not sure if that’s BS or not, but it seems insane that the stock at the biggest store/dealer in the U.S., which I believe is run by Wempe, doesn’t have any basic sports models heading into the holiday buying season. I knew this was going on in Europe, but I assumed you could still get a steel Sub, for example, with relative ease at a dealer. I assume it’s like this elsewhere across the U.S. Go figure.

That boutique is always short on steel sport watches

Zanotti · 15 November 2017, 10:23 AM

I was in the Vegas Wynn dealer and no SS models at all.

One PM model:

This is par for the course here! I’m actually shocked if I ever do see a SS sports model in an AD

Sunny Arizona · 15 November 2017, 10:37 AM

ADs in Phoenix/Scottsdale have plenty of stock.

zaydans · 15 November 2017, 10:40 AM

Sidney Thomas in NJ always seems to have a good stock

amh · 15 November 2017, 10:47 AM

San Diego stores are well stocked (no SD43 though)

jcatt · 15 November 2017, 10:50 AM

Plenty around ATL. Happy to facilitate for someone if need me.

Royal Maui Jewelers (Escondido location) in San diego
has lots of Ss...ask for a guy named Tal (handlebar mustache) he’s heavy into watches and the forum. A true watch guy who works at a ad is rare

Watchgeek5000 · 15 November 2017, 11:14 AM

That does seem to be the case at most AD's, sure there's some exceptions, but for the most part SS sport models are drying up until after Christmas.

UmichNJ · 15 November 2017, 11:28 AM

They keep small amount in the vault for select customers, but it basically says that Rolex inventory is drying up.

I have been there. I would imagine there are other boutiques in big cities that have the same kind of large inventory. Not sure if true, but heard a boutique is required to stock every reference watch Rolex currently makes.

5253Reynolds · 15 November 2017, 11:39 AM

No ss in Boston as of a couple weeks ago

duc916sps · 15 November 2017, 11:45 AM

Anyone have a lead on a SS Daytona at any of these stores?
Sorry, had to ask lol

I am in AZ but willing to look anywhere CONUS

rolex75216 · 15 November 2017, 11:56 AM

I'm with you. That is surprising to me.

Luxury Swiss in Miami. Don’t know how many times I’ve mentioned this. Take a flight and see for yourself.

If you have to take a flight to see a SS Rolex that says it all.

Don't know about that. I think one in Fashion Valley has more.

ingoodtime · 15 November 2017, 12:19 PM

I was at Mayors in Boca Raton at Town Center Mall. Their selection was fantastic. No shortage here except for my shortage of funds!
