I was with my girlfriend Saturday at a jeweler, and while she was looking at diamonds and stuff, somehow I wandered over to the Rolex case.

After window shopping at other AD's in Michigan, I have seen a SUB here or a SD there - but these these guys still have both black SUBS (date, non-date), a SD, and green SUB in stock (not pictured) - just sitting there.

thought it was interesting, since I keep hearing BS from other AD's that they are impossible to get anymore.

padi56 · 8 March 2010, 02:56 AM

BS is something many ADs have in abundance,its a pity they did not have as much knowledge on the products they sell.

karmatp · 8 March 2010, 03:05 AM

Same thing at my AD, maybe it's different around the globe. I can easily find all those models at every AD I go into. The SD is starting to disappear, but they can still be found easily. I think the LV will be super easy to find for the next year, even if they are discontinued.

JimC · 8 March 2010, 03:15 AM

That is a nice line up, nonetheless.

HL65 · 8 March 2010, 03:15 AM

They are all easily obtainable at least here in the USA. I have noticed posts from the UK where folks are saying they are harder to get.

stusrt · 8 March 2010, 03:34 AM

FYI -
since I've been asked....

I forgot the name of the AD - but they are the only AD in Ann Arbor, MI
and I know a couple of out-of-state guys HAVE purchased Rolex from them over the phone.
I have no idea what discounting they offer, if any.

LMP · 8 March 2010, 03:49 AM

Local Santa Fe AD and one in Albuquerque say the Sub Date is difficult to obtain.

Welshwatchman · 8 March 2010, 04:16 AM

That 14060m has been in the window for a couple of years it seems, non COSC.

philgb · 8 March 2010, 05:03 AM

Cannot find the SD in any London or South East England AD now (but would love to be proved wrong)

JMIND · 8 March 2010, 06:15 AM

I was in Albuquerque a few weeks ago and they had a 14060M but they were out of the 16610s.

Nicko · 8 March 2010, 06:17 AM

A very nice lineup.

tinknock71 · 8 March 2010, 06:31 AM

Schlander's on Main street, Ann Arbor Michigan, been there a few times nice selection. Very nice food around there also

gone-rolex-mad · 8 March 2010, 07:09 AM

No SD's on display in this part of the world, last one left my AD last month.

ersnyder · 8 March 2010, 07:22 AM

Still quite a few SD's available but they are getting more scarce.

Mappin and Webb Regents Street (I think)

That would be a find as they have not been available in the UK for a long time now.

I'm pretty sure it was Regents Street, I was browsing for something else so wasn't paying a great deal of attention, i'm 99% sure i'm right.

ParisDakarBmw · 8 March 2010, 08:45 AM

The SD looks like a winner. I'd love to have a brand new one.

Gagebuilder · 8 March 2010, 10:10 AM

Hey wolverine, have you come across a blue dial Daytona in your travels? I would really like to see one in the flesh, but I haven't come across one.

Last year when I was shopping there were a few SDs new in the display cases. Always got the BS---no discounts, no this, no that
Within a week, I was wearing a pre-loved 16600 from somebody who wanted my money. New would have been cool, but it didn't really matter to me.

Jason71 · 8 March 2010, 10:52 AM

That case looks similar to my collection..........

Oops, and I have added 3 since this picture.

Then take another picture

ral · 8 March 2010, 11:15 AM

I still see 14060M's here. The 16610 seems to be out of stock. Have not seen a Sea Dweller in ages.

Nice collection. I think you will be adding a 116610 soon.

Is the second one from the left a 14060M?

nch209 · 8 March 2010, 05:40 PM

They all can be found here in VA...but the prices are horrible! Sorry, but these numbers are getting crazy. I have not bought anything new since a Z SS daytona for $7950 at an AD, and now subs are low 6's??? Wow. Guess I've just gotten used to TRF prices!

Singslinger · 8 March 2010, 06:36 PM

Here in Singapore it's relatively easy to find all those watches in an AD's case, except for the Sea-Dweller. By the way, nice lineup!

I didn't know they make one.

stusrt · 9 March 2010, 04:07 AM

BTW -
there was a SD at another MI AD -

Karagosian & Sons Jewelers

They are great at discounting, but I don't know if they will discount the SD -
usually, they don't have a clue as to what they are sitting on.

RolexCat · 9 March 2010, 04:44 AM

Theres a nice AD in Kalamazoo, Mi. I bought my SD from them. That reminds me, i need to stop in and see what they have. Lol Ron
