The Available AD Inventory Thread

[T3F]

I thought it would be nice to start a continuing thread where we can alert other members if there's an interesting/hard-to-get watch that's up for grabs at an AD.

I'll start: there's a black Submariner Date, black GMT-Master II, and TT Skydweller with a black dial at my AD. They're in the Bay Area, but will ship tax-free. I'm not sure what the forum policy is on stating the name of ADs, so just PM me if you're interested.

Can’t believe it’s come to this. The thread should at least be for hulk, blnr, D5s,
Ss skyDs, and sd43.

The fact you have to alert for black sub is . Cmon Rolex, get it together.

Down near Campbell? They had quite a few sports models a couple weeks back, though I may have picked one up. :)

Nope, Palo Alto. They had an Explorer I this morning (and they still have Explorer IIs, although everyone does), but I may have snagged it just before posting this thread. :)

I suspect that after Basel there will be plenty of them all with improvements.

Hopefully went to AD and was dry. I ask about shipments after Basel he said stock will be limited like this for a long time

[LndLord]

But I rather read this thread vs “which Rolex will hold value” or “best Rolex to flip” or Rolex will discontinue all blnr and hulk

Looks like this is the state of things.

If this logic were true the new watches from last year’s Basel would be plentiful now, right?

The shortage must have to do with Basel.

Rolex has run out of SS sports models because production has shifted to new models.

The whole "holding back product to affect the market" seems a little far fetched.

I stopped in 4 ADs this past week, Clevelan, OH, Columbus, OH, and Chicago suburbs. Everyone had an Explorer 1 Mark 2, all had a subC 14060, all had at least 2-3 PM Daytonas, 2-3 had a Platinum Daytona, all had a Yachtmaster 40mm Platinum, at least 2 had a Yachmaster II, a plethora of DJs in any configuration, it is getting a little better. They all admitted that they are still seeing limited shipment sizes, and most of the watches of interest have come in the past 2 weeks.

AD in Boston has a couple of Yachtmaster II, rose gold Daytona with oyster flex strap, a white gold Sub "Smurf" and a few DJs

I think the point is highlighting the harder to get Watches. The ones you mention will be everywhere.

Think steel subs, steel GMT, BLNR, James Cameron Deepsea, SD43, Steel Daytona etc

only a few? Every London AD even has a lot of those

[Navarino]

Random but Century City mall AD (not their BH location) had a SD43 on display this past weekend. Thought I'd share as that is not a SS model I commonly see available in display cases lately. All three of their locations always seem to have a wide variety of PM Daytona's and PM Sky Dwellers on display as well, but no surprise there ;-P

Fraser Hart in Brent Cross has dozens lol

[Naples09]

AD in Naples Fl had a sub date in the case this weekend.

[T3F]

Going to bump this two-year-old thread because my AD sent me a list of watches they have in stock, some of which are models a lot of people might be looking for. They have treated me very well over the years and made sure I got what I wanted even when things were insane, hence why I'm trying to help them out. PM me if anyone's interested in any of these and I'll put you in contact with them. If anyone else's AD is in a similar situation, please feel free to do the same thing I'm doing.

[calishine]

Good man OP, great idea for a thread

[cbpdpm]

I'm in PA and looking for a TT Skydweller with white dial new from AD that will ship without tax. Thanks

[goodolejr]

Thanks, OP. This is a kind gesture.

[TooManyIDs]

Be sure to chime in if any AD starts selling a 116500ln-0001 at retail.

[Rohan1806]

If there are any members from India, I just spoke to one of the Rolex ADs that has stores in Bangalore and New Delhi and they have some SS sports models (Submariner, SD43, Yacht Master and Sky Dweller(not sure which colour dial)). PM me for details.
