Did Rolex just flood the market with LV Subs?
Hi, I'm a new poster to this site. I just got married last month, and my wonderful wife thought it would be nice to get me a new watch for a wedding gift, so I immediately keyed in on the only watch I ever fell in love with on site (well, actually in a picture) - the LV sub. I live in Boston and started looking at all the ADs in town and they kind of chuckled at me whenever I asked if they had any LV Subs in stock. I started looking at the Grey market but was hesitant to go that route. I had given up hope of finding one and was going to settle for a regular sub date when a week before our wedding I went to the same ADs again and one of them had just received one that day! I was jubilant and immediately made the purchase. I wear the watch every day and could not be more happy with it.
For our honeymoon, we went on a Mediterranean cruise which was awesome (I'll post some pictures of my Kermit soon). In Santorini, Greece the AD there had an LV Sub in the window (they also had an SS GMTII in the safe but the exchange rate is so bad that even with a discount it was still more than the Grey market price). In Rome, an AD also had one in the window. I thought that maybe it just wasn't as popular of a watch in Europe. Then I returned to Boston, and in the last two weeks, I have seen 3 separate ADs with LV Subs on display, and the place I bought mine from already has another one in their safe. I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed the same phenomenon. I don't really care because I bought my Kermit because its still my favorite watch I've ever seen, but I'm just surprised to see so many around after it was so hard to get for so long. Sorry for the long post. I'd also like to thank everyone that posts on here. It's such a wonderful source of information for newbies like me. |
