I ordered about 2.5 months ago. Watch was listed as having a 1-2 month lead time to be sourced from an AD, so they are late and I have no estimation yet. Meanwhile the pound went up, so my remaining 90% cost is getting more expensive. (I paid 10% on order).

The grey seller upped the price a week ago (+450gbp) but if course that won't apply to my order. I'm not sure if I should cancel or wait longer, but with the price going up maybe I'll wait.

I also thought the Subc Date was easy, but in NL I contacted three ADs and they couldn't be bothered. Told me they had a list and was too long (pretty much the same as for the Daytona Ceramic). Also checked at airports (Dubai, NL, Lisbon) and was told they appear regularly but are sold immediately,so there's usually none in stock unless you have really good timing (not likely for people who don't travel often)

My local AD told me that they were expecting a price increase in Q4 of 2017 but they have no idea exactly when as they only get 48 hour prior notification from Rolex.

I remember the availability of SS sports in the UK before the last price increase and it is completely different at the moment, I was in the Nov 1st 5% camp but now I would guess at nothing until 2018

Although....

I got the call for my Hulk last week and was told it was in the safe waiting for collection/payment although it HAD to be before Nov 1st

Who knows why, probably just standard practice but makes you wonder

I have been looking on the Website I purchased a Daytona116503 from a Grey Dealer last April I paid 11,210 for the Watch. Now the same Model is going for 11,990. That is a big jump in price in just over six months. I saved 1,190 on the Watch yet if I were to buy the same Watch today I would only save 410 GBP

Both good outfits, but not as good or straight up as they used to be.
