Please could the forum advise if any dealer in the Uk is selling any SS models in the professional range? I have gone to 3 this week and not one had a single model. I d be keen to know please?

I am in Australia but can probably still give you the answer.

Not much chance.

New from AD- good luck anywhere in the world right now!!

Grey market- sure you can get one, but you’ll pay for it!

Have you a specific watch in mind that you’d like?

joli160 · 8 December 2018, 07:03 PM

Guardian of Time has a nice selection

If you ask an AD for 'any steel sports Rolex' it will get their backs up. It is the single best way to sound like you are a flipper. I am not suggesting you are one, just that this is how to sound like one.

Focus on the one you want and ask only for that, it may still be difficult but you will at least be taken more genuinely than by the former method.

Over the past couple of days I’ve seen an Air King, a blue dial YM, an Explorer and an Explorer2. Lots of SS DJ41s in various configurations. And hundreds of TT

Oh, and tried on a BB58 too

I got a call from a London AD who I purchased my Yacht-Master from asking if I wanted a Daytona earlier this week. He was shocked when I declined. When he asked why I told him I don't like the design and he kept repeating how sought after they are. I told him I don't care- I don't like them!

They are out there if you get in with the right AD.

Hey Tony, which AD is this may I ask, as I’ve been wanting to add a Daytona to the collection for some time. :)

Lol.. no chance even if he did tell you. He has earned that phone call - you will just be another nobody from outside of town to them.

What a sad state of affairs when grown men are begging for the privilege of being allowed to buy a watch.

You really tortured me with this post, I am hunting a Daytona for almost 2 years with no luck despite my spend history with some of the ADs and despite my willingness to negotiate a bundle deal. Anyway, you're much stronger than me

Guys, my apologies- I didn't mean to torture anyone with my post. The last time I bought a Rolex was 2016 so I have no idea why I got the call. I've also been called about Deep Seas and Sub Dates but I'm a die hard Yacht-Master fan!

The clue for the AD is in this thread from when I purchased my last Rolex:

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=503308

I think maybe try some reverse psychology- it seems to have worked for me!

What particular model are you looking for?

With some shopping around you could likely find EXP1, EXP2, Milgauss, AK, YM etc

If you’re after Blnr, HULK, Pepsi (even black steel sub/ND) etc, not many people can help you with that one and you’ll need to start buying from an AD (other pieces) and become a good customer first
