After speaking to AD’s my instinct says
Production of steel professional watches has been reduced despite reports to the contrary. How can top selling AD’s receive less top selling models unless production has been reduced?

In this crazy market people would still buy it
Maybe even it would be considered more desirable. lol
No, it’s too many customers
If you had to write a 1000-word essay on why you (and your children and children’s children) deserve a Rolex, then there would be plenty to go around. Cazalea
No shareholders
You guys are obviously no shareholders haha (I know Rolex still privately owned but nonetheless )
I think it’s a bubble.
Too many other brands have the same quality reputation among the knowledgeable, but lack the status offered by a Rolex to the emerging wealthy. The perception that they are good investments feeds the frenzy (until the next downturn). And Rolex collectors ...
