Visited Las Vegas Last Weekend...

[TheDon2000]

Went to all of the AD's in Vegas. Six or seven of them I believe. Asked the same questions each time. "Anything in steel?" "Any sport models?"

Of course, the answer was always synonymous with "No". Absolutely nothing.

They didn't even have Explorers, or SS DJ41s in popular configurations! In fact, I heard the one AD tell a customer that "The Datejust 41 is very hot right now and we have a wait for it". Mind-blowing.

I also overheard a customer requesting a Platona, who got told "Even if you gave me the $75,000 right now I couldn't give one to you".

One interesting thing, 3 or 4 of the AD's all had the Yachtmaster II 116683 in White Gold sitting in the case. I always heard that was a bit of a rare watch but there they were, sitting in the case. Also, there was ONE yellow gold Sub at Caesars with blue dial. There was one Rose Gold Sky-Dweller w/ Gray Dial at the Wynn.

There was one thing they all had in common: cases and cases of 28-36mm Datejusts/OPs/etc. with wonky dial/bezel/bracelet configurations etc that nobody even bothered to look twice at. I wonder how much money the AD's are missing out on without the ability to sell Subs/GMTs/etc. on the regular.

The market truly is crazy right now.
