It saddens me to see this phenomenon , .
After reading lots of philosophical approaches, and talking with most of the AD’s in my area, this whole shortage it’s caused by one simple fact:
Wealthy inpatient people who want the watch A.S.A.P. and are willing to pay whatever the price is.
I didn’t payed one penny extra for none of my Rolex , but when my AD’s tel me that I will get one I just wait.
And as I type this, just got the call that a Submariner just arrived , after one week from ordering it..
The only watch he mentioned that he has no prediction when I will get it is the blue Sky-Dweller since he only got two since it came out.
So it’s all a patience game .
If everyone would approach it as just a watch , grey dealers would have to drop prices .
Just saw this yesterday, look at this !!!
And while in the store he sold two RM’s for half a mill.
So it’s just that simple .
Best,
Zsolt.
