As anyone else noticed a bit more AD interaction, my “names down “ for a few watches at a few ADs , ones text to see if I still wanted to remain on their list maybe to weed out the speculators who’ve slowed down buying, also another AD rang out of the blue offering me a pre owned model which I’ve my name down for , way over mrsp obviously. I’d previously heard nothing from either the past 18 months or so . Who knows just seemed unusual in the space of a week .

Yes, the numbers are starting to no longer add up for flipping. So ADs will be reduced to actually selling watches to people who want them to wear. And I believe there are a lot of of amateur flippers on waiting lists. Better times ahead, no doubt

Nope. Haven't hear a peep from the 3 AD's which I'm on the list for....

Let’s hope so , now the dilemma of buy another watch now which I can get straight away Tudor black bay Chrono or speedy sapphire crystal or keep my powder dry in the hope the Rolex I’m listed for comes through this year

Quite common with AD chains. My Torneau has a wide selection of pre-owned watches and my AD offered me the same in the beginning.

[dazzle66]

Yep a 41mm OP £7500

I think we could be seeing a slight improvement, I have been called on a watch I have been waiting for, for around 18 months, will have it this coming week. Don't know if it is post Covid return to production or whatever, just happy that I have it coming.

No not at all

[mountainjogger]

Nope.

[Epanerai12]

Yes. But i don't expect it for gmt and daytuners yet.

[skatamail]

I doubt less people, whether flippers or not, are willing to buy a hot model (gmt/blro/sub/daytona, etc. you get the list) for MSRP. The margins are still there.

I don't doubt that less people are willing to buy non-hot models, that probably never should have traded at such a premium anyways.

“It’s happening”

[Uppersouth]

I received a call from an AD about a watch I inquired about over a year ago. I passed as have already received the watch from another AD. I do believe things are slightly changing.

[Watchesnguitars]

Hard to say but it appears things may be easing a bit.. Was in AD yesterday grabbing the wife a bday present or two and inquired about the next piece on my wishlist and was originally told a couple of months but when I said I was looking to celebrate a work achievement and was ready to buy that quickly turned into "something might turn up this weekend"... I'm not sure if this was just a way to get me paid up and out of the store but I do have a decent purchase history of time pieces and jewelry so we shall see.. Hopefully this doesn't turn out like the one guy waiting 9 days for his wife... hahaha.
