What countries have had the new SS GMT II?

Who has seen/bought the new SS GMT II? I know that one has been purchased in Greece and that JJ has seen one in New Zealand. Who else has spotted one at their AD?

Cheers

Alex

I have been told the same. I wonder how Rolex prioritise their distribution around the world? Anybody got any ideas?

I have wondered about how the release date is decided, so I asked the sales dept in the Rolex affiliate where I work. They told me that different affiliates operate policies. Some start to distribute new models as soon as they receive them, usually in small numbers. Others hold back release until a stock of the new models is built up, so they don`t start to appear until later in these markets.
