My AD (non rolex) is sitting on at least a dozen hot models and can't sell them. Has to much in them. No ones buying around here at the inflated price. They are a Rolex ad in another town but not at this location. Looks like they be stuck with these at least for the time being.

I asked the manager at my local AD about this and she said it does not matter how much you spend or have spent in the past. Several of the SA said the same thing. It fact the SA are upset they don’t have more watches to sell. They all said Rolex distribution is controlled by HQ and everybody has to wait.

In any case, you won't ever find anything at the AD until grey prices are lower than msrp. |

Sounds like the new Rolex building is up and running and Rolex is hiring like crazy. Secondary prices dropping, China and EU markets hurting, and production ramping up, all good signs pointing towards increasing availability at US ADs in the coming months. No rush, enjoy other brands on your wishlist, things will only get easier with time.

![]() While it cannot be proven that ADs prioritize sales, which of these is more probable given first hand experience from many posters? 1) AD prioritizes sales to big spenders -OR- 2) AD sells to anyone and everyone |

Its true but basically flipper profit is already below retail on all but GMT and Daytona. So... why is it still so tight at the AD?

You are using an anecdotal fallacy argument. I am sure there are ADs that have chosen to prioritize big spenders, but others may have chosen a more fair and balanced approach. If they sell more than Rolex, maybe they want to expand their customer base. If you can get someone their grail watch, they will be customers for life. Besides couldn’t a big spender just afford to go directly to the grey market instead of buying watches or jewelry they really don’t want. It could be cheaper and much quicker? |

You're not looking hard enough(not on trf) . They selling for 40k now. and if you factor in buying out of state then you got yourself a tax free watch. theres lnib for 38750. If history is to go by, rolex pm was never a hot seller, except lately. but now since its not worth it flipping steel ln sub now then there is no point buying gold watch to get a sub ln. seen a couple of threads starting to pass on the pm sports watch like rg gmt and i think the wgsub
