Rolex does not release those numbers, but estimates based on COSC certs. puts that number close to 800,000.

I wonder if Rolex will play the supply game. With increasing supplies, would they reduce production (or inventory shipped to dealers) to generate more of a demand?

I think that's a common strategy of theirs.
