Dropped by my AD today and was advised that there will be further cuts to Steel allocation by Rolex.
Anyone else been notified of this ?

Are you on the lists for anything?

al1786 · 7 January 2019, 09:42 AM

Yes, but I do have purchase history with this particular AD. 2 watches purchased in less than 6 months.

Going from zero to less than zero?

It can't get much worse.

gastown604 · 7 January 2019, 09:55 AM

No AD knows their allocations...

peterpl · 7 January 2019, 10:05 AM

Your AD likes to blow air out of their crevices.

Nikrnic · 7 January 2019, 10:08 AM

I was busy buying and selling to dial in my collection last year. The hottest piece l purchased from my AD was a Blnr. The hottest piece l passed on was a black SS Daytona. I'm content with nothing on my radar now so I'm just sitting back. I do feel bad for some playing the waiting game as it sounds like 2019 will be even more challenging to get any SS sports at MSRP.

Maybe they will cease production on all SS pieces and give you the option of gold or platinum.

watchwatcher · 7 January 2019, 10:25 AM

No, I haven't been notified. Which is unusual, b/c I am usually in the loop on corporate Rolex policy.

I must have sent somebody the wrong gift this year.

inadeje · 7 January 2019, 10:28 AM

PM = Rolex
SS = Tudor

I think that this will be the strategy, since the active renaissance of Tudor by the company

If you walk in with a steel rolex now, they will take it from you?

2.5 seems low. Person must be a high roller.

avidflyer · 7 January 2019, 11:10 AM

New AD in Boston said shipments would be almost double for the first part of the year. After shutdown lots till summer.

Yeah but let me guess, the greys will have plenty.

2.5 years is not unreasonable at all.

On the other hand, none of the 4 ADs I talked to experienced any SS Sports model allocation cut these years.

LuminousMaximus · 7 January 2019, 11:13 AM

I think that your AD may be on the list for No allocation...

This is a good thought. For black bay to replace submariners though it will take a lot of marketing spend over the next couple of years. I don’t think I can stand that much David Beckham.

If I was wanting a Daytona I would jump at 2.5 years given some of the stories I’ve read

My AD in Las Vegas thinks it'll be tougher this year, but who really knows.

Yes! New policy is if you come in the store with a popular model on, they will confiscate it and sell it to someone else! “Have a nice day” is what they will say as you are leaving too!

Ichiran · 7 January 2019, 03:46 PM

If your Ad is not lying, that will be bad news for Rolex fans but good news for scalpers and greys.
