We have these sitting in AD windows in the UK (the land of limited supply), so your AD is tryiing to pull a fast one.

Argh!! You beat me to it.

These are near enough in every U.K. Shop window, where everything else is like rocking horse poo.

Well here they are easy to find, except the normal Daytona and sea dweller and sky dweller which my AD offered one to me and I passed but everything else is sitting even the D-Blue

It was no need to try and sell me on it, I already own the watch and was actually wearing it we were just having casual convo and that came up when she saw it on my wrist

Europe and Australia are also scarce.

It's pretty bad all over the region. Something like 3 SS sport pieces in this month's AD shipment.

This is the worst I have ever seen it Brother! It isn't the AD either, this is just the incoming stock which all the sales associates are negatively impacted as well.

I reached out to my Canadian AD who said it wasn't much better there either.

Hope the numbers come up for Christmas, New Years and Chinese New Year or there will be some upset customers.
