Nice AD case

Visited my AD in Luxembourg and had a nice 30 mins chat about watches. Took my time to try some pieces including DJ 36 and 41, Daytona, Root Beer and Cartier - there were some YM also

You know the story already...PM models are easier to get, the steel ones long list (e.g. allocation :))

Anyway...i loved the look of the cases

I'm guessing these were for "display purposes only"?

Great looking YM. I feel that collection is overlooked.

It's certainly a healthier looking case than I've been seeing lately, especially at my local AD's. I have that exact model of TT Daytona but I'd take a look at the subs.

not sure about Daytonas, there was one before christmas in the case also.

The Rootbeer was in the back and was waiting for the pickup tomorrow. They just got a Pepsi and a SubDate that should have made the case - i do think they keep them few days and then let them go.

This was inside case, the front outside case had several datejusts mostly ladies plus a blue 41 and a black&white 36 that were for sale. I might go for thd black DJ 36 - it looked nice on my 6.4 inch wrist.

talking rumors - they were not taking orders/waitlists for Explorer 2 before Basel.

No stock and no customers, looks like that S.A (If it is a S.A) has ample time on his hands to play about with his phone.

Those empty cases are not a good look. I was in Hawaii at the beginning of the year, the AD had 14 watches in the entire store - plus 2 security guards and 3 members of staff... store owners must be as frustrated as we are.

Pretty much the same here - ADs display the models that are in demand but they're not for sale.

Cases contain mainly TT Datejusts.
