Still no watches
I was at my AD yesterday day and the display cases of both Rolex and Tudor were pretty much empty. All the other watch brand cases were completely full. I spoke to the manager and she said the wait list for Submariners was still quite long. She did assure me I would eventually get the watch.

Time will either provide you with the watch you want from your AD or you will become tired of the wait and buy from one of our Trusted Sellers. Either way you will end up with the watch you want. I would go the Trusted Seller route, get the watch I want at the best price available and enjoy the ownership experience. Tell your AD to then move you over to a different watch that you want and sit tight, enjoy your watch and wait. Good luck and let us know how it plays out.

Be patient. Rolex at MSRP is the proper price.

Even with this downturn and upcoming recession I highly doubt we'll see certain models on the shelf for anyone to purchase.

As others have said, you need to be patient. Watches will come back to the display cases, but it’s gonna take some time.

It’s going to take a few months to meet the needs of everyone on the “lists.” Flippers are gone; Watch Eric said in a recent video 2/3 watches were snatched up by them. Many VIPs seem less interested in watches these days, too. I know a V VIP and he’s trying to get rid of his hoard before he loses too much money. Of course he wants top dollar for his second hand pieces, lol.

Patience is a virtue.
For everything else, there’s wire transfers. |

The whole thing is cooling down. Give it a few months longer and there’ll be watches at ADs.

This is definitely complex, but in simple terms, with interest rates going up, there will be fewer speculative buyers in the market. Look at the S&P500 this year. We are at an approximately 20% dip, and the fed hasn't stopped raising rates. I think many people were getting into watches during the pandemic because they had extra savings due to the lockdowns and stuff. Also, they may have made some money on real estate and decided to buy a watch. I would say with everything cooling off now; there is less demand. There have been a lot more incoming posts on the forums. I am not saying Daytonas will be in the case, but I could imagine you seeing an EXP2 or 126613LB in the case in the coming year.
