I am in Vienna at this moment in time and have been gawping at the hundreds of Rolex for sale in the many shops that have an agency. This is a place in which every top brand is sold and often with several shops selling the same "exclusive" product in the same street.

I looked into 5 shops selling new Rolex and the windows were full of the usual TT and YG stuff in the hundreds, but not one single SS Submariner or GMT was on sale.

There was just one 39mm Explorer, one polar Explorer11 and a few Yacht Masters looking forlorn in the hundreds of Datejusts on display.

There were quite a few well stocked Patek windows with the usual traditional perpetual calendar models but not a single Nautilus type model to be seen.

Funny games are definitely going on here.
