My AD has no SS anymore out on display. They used to at least have explorer IIs, but now even those are gone.

I saw both SS Explorer II in white and black in Tri state area AD. Also a SS Milguass. I know, nothing great but PM me if interested.

Nothing in the windows
But there are much greater supplies in the vault. ;-)
However, unless you're a VIP spender or doing a package bundle buy... the average person will never see them (thats unfort the game now and how it works - whether you want to play in that sandbox is up to you)

I just think the hype is slowing now and the word is out on the ADs flipping directly to grays which has become quite general knowledge now so maybe AD's are trying to curb that because many eyes are now watching.

Lets see.
Agree I think the truth is out ads are selling to greys. Not sure if it is general knowledge but the more we mention it on here hopefully people will start getting it.

I see prices not opening so high when they are first released on Greys. (Subs / GMTs)

Of course the hot pieces like BLNR / SUB LV / BLRO are still in bubble prices.

Hope some normalcy returns in 2019/2020.

Pertaining to ADs? Still nothing and only OPs / DJs.

I've visited about 10 ADs in Central London, and 3 just outside of London during the past month and the only sports watches I saw were a couple of Explorers and yachtmasters.

Didn't see one sub or gmt, and that included any TT variants.

Nothing on display here at the Rolex boutique in SF. Haven't checked the other ADs but they were pretty bare last time I was in. Doesn't mean they don't have some in the back, but I didn't ask.

The more 'offbeat' jurisdictions such as Morocco appear to be more well-stocked - less Rolex-crazed buyers up in North Africa!

They don’t have in the display but in the safe case. I was last week at my official AD looking for Patek Philippe and he came from the back with 3 Submariner, 2 BLRO and 2 BLNR (Not Daytona neither Sky Dweller) and asked my if I was interested in the Submariner (I have the BLNR and BLRO already) and I declined (submariner just became too boring for me and that’s why I sold it) but he told me there is more inventory incoming.

But as always, there are not in the displays but in the safe case.

I visited 3 ADs in Melbourne 2 weeks ago, not a single SS piece in sight... I used to see the odd explorer but haven’t seen one in maybe 10 months

I was walking through Soho NYC on Sunday night, and there was a Submariner 114060 sitting in the window at Watches of Switzerland (60 Green St). Didn't go in to see what else they had in stock though.

This is very true. I just talked to an AD yesterday during my search for a LV. He told me they have several LVs in the manager's safe but the sales staff do not have access to them. They are reserved for people who purchase any all gold model and specifically request one.

I was at my AD less than two weeks ago. SS sports models consisted of a black DeepSea. That was it.

My other AD who I contacted by email said she had zero SS sport models in stock and expected nothing until next year.

That is a marked improvement on their responses compared to earlier in the year when they weren’t even taking names down for the sub date.

Just out of curiosity, I found 390 sub date and 360 nd on Chrono24. Last month, the numbers were higher, 540 sub date.

My local goldsmiths use to have both OP's in black and white but they sold and they have nothing now, not even Milgauss or Explorers. It's just DJ's and one 37mm grey Yachtmaster....
