Seems like since about Christmas time there have not been the usual volume and rate of incomings I am used to seeing on this forum. Have others made the same observation?

Have ADs received less inventory than normal in the last month?

Milibrk@ · 17 February 2021, 07:49 AM

They all went to Greys.

japenney · 17 February 2021, 07:55 AM

Traditionally ADs receive more inventory before Christmas so people can have gifts for under the tree and then it slows down for January and February. This is fairly normal.

scooba · 17 February 2021, 08:00 AM

Hi ,

I find this statement exactly what I thought and said to my AD , They actually said they had just had a healthy delivery ?

From my observations the three months before Christmas was crazy,So many incomings and definitely less in the last six weeks

Likely this wave went to a bunch of consumers who don't post on forums or Instagram.

I thought that was the only reason people bought watches to begin with

TRF should have a only "trusted reseller incoming thread." That would be impressive.

When I get the call for my JC the first thing I will do is post an incoming PIC. Well, after I look at it for about 326 times. Just sayin...

As probably everyone knows, the contents of the shipments that ADs get are a surprise to the ADs themselves until they arrive. My AD said that they typically know what to expect by reading the "Incoming!" and "Got the Call!"-type posts on sites like this one.

Personally, I've been waiting on an Explorer I for a couple of months, and haven't seen anybody post about having received one in the recent past. I have a feeling Rolex is holding off on sending new ones because they've got something planned (updates, etc.) for the entire Explorer line, to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of the Explorer II. Just my thoughts, and I'm probably wrong.

Cheers for reading!

Rolex stops sending stock to ADs about 6 months before a model is officially discontinued. Considering the next release is in April, this could be the case with the Explorer one.

omx5o · 17 February 2021, 07:20 PM

They get sent out from the factory in batches. So TRF incomings are in batches.

Ian Macdermott · 17 February 2021, 07:21 PM

Where have all the Rolex gone
Gone to flippers every one
Where have all the Rolex gone
Sold to Gray many a one
When will supply return
When will we ever learn.

My AD said they’d received a couple of Explorer 2s this year. Is the next release definitely in April? Considering the new subs/OPs were only released in September that seems quite soon.

Hello mate.

I picked up my Explorer at the weekend.

Incredible watch. Over the moon with it. 39mm is perfect for me.

Here’s some pics!

I just got a call last week about a SS sports model that I passed on (wrong dial), so I know some are out there moving (hadn't gotten a call for one of these in all of 2020, so probably partly due to where I stood on a list and partly how much was moving).

HogwldFLTR · 18 February 2021, 01:28 AM

Long time passing.
Gone to grey sellers everyone.
