WF is way overpriced for every Rolex they list.

In aus I was looking out of curiosity at bluesy 6 digits online pre owned and they were from $1500 under list to $1000 over list. I don’t think they will see the over list ones but who knows these days

I've have passed by a couple of ADs in Manchester and have spotted TT subs on several occasions, so not sure why anyone would pay over MSRP for one!

No TT sports models to be found in any AD show case in NYC.

I kinda like the subtle contrast of rose gold and steel. Maybe the tide can turn.

Yep I havent seen a TT sports in any AD in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth in almost a year. I travel to the major cities ALOT.

NZ nothing as well. Fiji, Vietnam and even in Malaysia I saw no TT sports models. Crazy crazy times.

It’s location I believe because TT subs are all sold out too in Vancouver and people are reselling them for $3000-5000 more than asking. If you can get your hands on a two tone now do it before this crazy crave hits yours area.

When? There are only 2 AD's in Manchester and I pass by them regularly. The last time I saw a TT sub was in January and it was a 116613LN, it wasnt in the window it was inside Mappin and Webb in a cabinet.

Next time you see one take a pic please. I'm wondering if I'm missing them?

I feel the same way. Almost forget it’s two tone.

TTS are languishing in every AD I’ve been in. Even TT Subs and Daytona’s are hanging around in empty cases. Just because some silly Gray dealers ask crazy prices doesn’t mean they get them except from some folks with more cash then sense.

Well, TTs are actually quite impressive in the flesh. Most people have never tried one on, and just go with the mass perception that a TT is not cool. And frankly I think pictures don’t do justice to most TTs. But really, if you like the watch itself, say Daytona, go try on a 116503/23 and come back and tell me if it’s cool or not.

I will disagree, I love TT watches, but Daytona is the one I seem to not like in TT. Literally any other metal I like it, but not TT. I'd much prefer a Bluesy, TT GMT or TT SkyD for a TT. Or even a RG TT chocolate dial DJ41.

Fake Rolecks. Probably bought right there in the parking lot.

Discontinued TT GMT seems to be creeping upwards.

They are there or wait time is minimal at least- 1 month for a buyer that shows intent. (In Manchester)
