An AD in south Florida told me they increased production 5%. Not much but better than nothing.

Makes sense to shift production. Black GMT and sub were always an either/or proposition for me and I imagine others too since they look so similar.

You put the cart before the horse. Because there are no more 116710s being produced they upped both the blnr and blro capacity most likely. It makes sense.

Well 5% on 10 000 watches is nothing.

5% on 1 million watches is a whole lot more.

I also get the sense of that.

I also wonder how many people outside the forum are getting these lately.

One thread and an AD report confirms a theory? I hope you're on the committee if I ever have to defend a Ph.D. dissertation.

I felt I was simply confirming his responsible deduction as being the first one posted here, not as a statement of fact...but whatever.

However if you still need me to help just send a PM.

I was told the same by an AD but it will still be hard to get at least for a while.

I hope so because having GMT Masters being allocation items will really hurt the brand in the long-run imo

Visited 2 ADs in Boston today, combined they said they’ve seen 1 in the past 12 months. The one with which I have a purchase history told me they have a customer who has spent $800k this year and he’s not getting one, so neither am I. Yeah...

I'm seeing more in the Grey Market for sure. But still asking too much!! I want to add this model to my collection, but not that desperate to drop 16K+ on a pre-own.

I bought one from AD. My only history was being their first customer when they opened in December 2018 and bought DSSD D-Blue. I know I was lucky, but got mine last Tuesday.

Talk about putting words in other people's mouths.

He said, "it looks like," as in to seem or appear, hardly a confirmation, no?
And he called it a hypothesis, not a theory. Maybe we need a dissertation on being triggered easily.
