You can add them all to your cart but you can never check out

The Grey Dealers have acquired Authorized Dealer inventory, might wanna check there. lol

Yeah, those are super rare. Look how few of them are out there.

Something SS on Oysterflex strap maybe a new YM steel or Sub or SD... just my wish.

Some inventory would be nice.

[prnceofpersia23]

Glidelock on Daytona OF models, green dial for DJ41, 41mm Ex2 with green hand.

Of course, as an owner of a steel Daytona, I would love to see changes there for my own benefit. Just can't see that happening at this stage of the model cycle.

My gut feeling is that they'll discontinue more watches than they'll release to clean up the catalogue a bit.

I would love to see a 41mm Daytona with a date in yellow gold or rose gold with blue dial option.

THIS! LOL Best picture I’ve seen on this forum in awhile.

[BIGPOCKETS]

EXPLORER III (44mm case, we can handle the extra 2mm) NO GREEN on it.
No ceramic bezel
New movement
Triplock (wider) crown like the DEEPSEA & bigger lugs.
A real up to date toolwatch.
The extreme version of explorer range, like DEEPSEA 44mm is extreme diver & YACHTMASTER II is extreme yachtmaster - it makes sense.

Exp III

That's not really that many, it's just a box of Daytonas and two boxes of ladies watches.

Good idea and possibly navy blue dial/bezel on the SS SD43. Everything we want for the sub, but force more sales of the 43 instead. That would be a classic Rolex move.

It’s also ONE grey dealer out of HUNDREDS !

Grey dealers commonly post photos with cases full of thousands of new Rolex at dealer only trade shows.

It's 0.006% of what Rolex make in a year, it's really not that many.
It's perhaps a lot for one grey dealer and that's why he's posting the photos, to try and show off, but in the grand scheme of things it's a drop in the ocean.

It *is* actually many. And there are several others with more (I have posted some instagram links here in the past).

It doesn't matter what percentage it is of Rolex's annual production. What matters is grey dealers hoard, manipulate prices in an illiquid and opaque market, and make it harder for actual collectors to get what they want from their AD.

They hoard? You mean they buy stock so they can sell it at a profit?

I was at Ace Hardware earlier, those rotten devils have hoarded plywood and now they're trying to sell it back to me at more than someone paid for the man to cut the tree down. Who can I complain to?

Ace Hardware is an Authorized Retailer of Plywood. They also have contracts with the Plywood manufacturers that might govern how much Ace Hardware can charge for things (at least, in terms of adherence to being at or below RRP).

Furthermore, Plywood is not an artificially limited production item that Authorized Retailers have been (lately) reserving for loyal customers as relationship pieces.

And finally, Plywood is not being sold on the grey market for 2x - 4x RRP.

Edited to remove my silly example - I'm tired of giving silly examples to try and denounce a global conspiracy, if you think there is one then have at it.
