Next on the list - demand is being met.

Since November I've went from 9th to next which surely indicates demand is being met for SS sports models.

Hopefully next month I'll have my very first Incoming Thread!

Yes - depends on which AD your on the list with.
My recent experience is that the big city centre or shopping mall type national chain AD's such as Goldsmiths will still have lists as long as your arm.
However if you can get in with a smaller out of town indipendant type AD I think you may be surprised at availability.
My Cousin recently got a Submariner Date within 3 months of first contacting a small indipendant.

No supply here in US for SS sport models at ADs in NYC.

Perhaps they just got tired of waiting and bought other brands

It is with an independent however they are by no means small and are also a PP AD.

Still lots of Datejusts in the window but things seem to be moving quicker as I was originally advised it could be 12 months.

..............or, people on the list are dropping like flies because they've changed their minds or no longer have the cash for it.

I can understand not having any cash. A buddy of mine told me his expenses for December were in excess of $10,000. That and Boxing Day shopping, no wonder no one has any money left.

9 for the GMTc was probably a bit of an exaggeration so hope it comes in soon.

Nice one. I was at an event with that AD last year - my mate knows one of the owners. They’re a good bunch

Expect grey and trusted seller prices to drop soon. Just as I suspected the same person was probably on 10 or 20 different wait lists and all of a sudden the twenty waiting lists dropped to next. Rolex knows what it is doing for sure. They know what true demand is.
