Stopped by my AD earlier today to get a link added to my GMT and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice selection on display. Sure I know, not “hard to get” references but nonetheless better than the usual empty cases. I was surprised to see the TT White Dial Daytona though and the RG Chocolate Dial DJ is a stunner in the metal. Anyhow, here are some pics...

Been looking for TT Daytona for awhile now. They are getting hard to find. Waiting on an AD call

JayHantz · 18 February 2021, 10:48 AM

That TT YM is a sleeper. I love that execution!

afmars · 18 February 2021, 10:48 AM

This is an amazing situation compared to my AD...

Jack T · 18 February 2021, 10:52 AM

The TT Daytona is a nice one, no need for a ceramic bezel

dukie748 · 18 February 2021, 10:58 AM

There is only one TT that REALLY works for me - the Rootbeer - but that YM does look kinda sweet.

I love my TT Yachtie. Gorgeous watch.

I struggled between this and the TT CHNR. The GMT won by a hair. Both stunning watches.

Yep, it’s a sleeper and a stunner! I was very impressed when I saw it in the metal

Great selection of Rolex watches for the general public to enjoy!

RJRJRJ · 18 February 2021, 11:27 AM

That blue DJ is probably already gone.

Marcjvr · 18 February 2021, 11:28 AM

Thanks for sharing. Nice to see a decent selection of watches. My closest AD had 0 Datejusts > 34mm last time I was in there.

trippinjimmy · 18 February 2021, 11:54 AM

That TT Daytona is a showstopper in real life...just screams class!

EEpro · 18 February 2021, 11:56 AM

I would have snagged the blue fluted jubilee in a heartbeat.

Danny83 · 18 February 2021, 11:57 AM

Thats use to be a terrible selection

The brainwashing is complete! Rolex wins.

Thanks for sharing, as it provides a bit of perspective. I, too, dropped by the AD today and noticed that their Rolex selection has essentially doubled since the last time I was there about a week ago. Though, by double, I mean there were double the DJ's, but no SS sports models like what you found.

It was a 36mm (too small for my wrist) otherwise I would have!

mdtddd2007 · 18 February 2021, 12:27 PM

That 2 tone DJ41mm is nice!

Ah good call. Too small.

Oystersteel92 · 18 February 2021, 01:38 PM

I too was pleasantly surprised on the 6th when I visited an AD in an adjacent state and they had at least a dozen, maybe 15 watches. No Daytona of any kind, but several SS 36mm DJ and TT 41mm DJ.

Is it a post-Christmas buying slump, or is demand starting to cool just a hair? Personally, people I know are starting to talk about post-Covid plans as cases continue to drop and vaccines keep going into people's arms, and EVERYBODY is talking about needing a vacation. I'd imagine the pent up demand for doing things out of the house will be huge if this trend continues. That may lead to less "fun money" allocated for a 3rd or 4th SS sport model Rolex.

“Luxury” watch sales always cool in February and March- ask any dealer. Most folks looking towards tax obligations and the Holiday season gifts and cash are a distant memory.
