So, (:worked_till_5am:)......., does anyone know how many Pepsi's an independent AD might expect to get, in say 12 months? Wondered if anyone would know?
Thanks.

Three.
If this is true then there surely is no way anyone can deny they are holding back on production? They must have had more than 3 hot models a year back before the boom?Quote:

There are some independents who are members on here, hopefully one will come forward with some actual detail.
As we are in the business of uneducated guess work, I'll say 2 to 4 depending on which model 😂
Can we have a count of how many threads about Rolex availability before the end of the year? I'll start - at least 1
I have a family friend who runs a Rolex AD in Thailand and they get around 1 Pepsi every 2 months and 1 BLNR a month if that helps.
Daytona is 1 every 3 months or so.

Can we count the seen anything good at Heathrow/schipholthreads. They degenerate into availability at ADs then onto, they’re not that scarce Burlington/Chrono24/watchfinder are awash with *insert desired GMT master II four letter designation here*Quote:

My local independent is very open with me about the numbers. Not that I have managed to get one yet! I was told around 6 a year! Both the BLNR and BLRO. Going to top spenders and long standing customers.
Interestingly also was told the watch they get most is the sub. But they also get a minimum of 30 calls a day on the sub and again tend not to sell to any old person.
The biggest surprise in all this. How many people are out there spending big at ADs. Or as said above...good friends!!

Well here’s my guess. BLNR 10-12 BLRO 3-5
Does anyone know how many new Rolex availability threads we might expect to get, in say 12 months? Wondered if anyone would know?
Thanks.
Because I was interested to know how many an AD could expect to get in a year.Quote:

Every independent AD will get differing amounts depending on their turnover.Quote:

Only If you’re a big spender and they love you do you stand a chance of getting one pretty much.
Yes, another Rolex thread but this was a specific question and not general bellyaching.
Ryan has a useful answer but others just pulling numbers from their behind.
To be fair it is very hard to know and one can’t trust what AD tells you about the numbers.
For context what as a SA who works for the Aurum group aka WOS, GS M&W informed me that her branch based in a very large city gets about 4 BLRO a month- but added they go to customers who have spent at least 75K!
The answer to the question - why another Rolex thread is dead easy.
If you already have a Rolex or don't intend to buy one for whatever reason, the topic means nothing to you.
However, if you are seriously looking for a new model, it pays to know the latest supply situation in order to make an effective purchase and this place is a good source of up to date information.
If you aren't interested, just read something else.
Do all AD's get equal allocation though? If you are a more successful store that moves a bigger quantity of the lesser models do Rolex allocate you more of the very popular models as a reward?
That seems a bit...................... ageist :worked_till_5am:Quote:

It’s good to know and find out what exactly is going on with the whole subject.
Not everyone is in a position to buy at Will and maybe like me will only ever be in a position to buy once in their lifetime.
Thanks
There was a recently published article from some British Insurance company that said that the average age of a Rolex owner was sixty three. Possibly it would sex up their image if Rolex sold more watches to a younger age group.Quote:

Those owners mentioned above, would have purchased their Rolex some time earlier.Quote:

Of course I have no data to back this up except that in the Rolex part of the WoS store that I frequent, the customers always look to be in their summer years.
The article is somewhere in this forum and yes you are correct in stating that the 63 year old would or could have bought them earlier.Quote:

I have to say that when I spot a Rolex on a wrist it is usually on a retiree but then that is in Spain where there are hundreds of thousands of them.
Just scroll past the b*tchy comments.Quote:

Given that all the SS sports range are in a similar position regarding supposed waiting lists I presume the same spenders would be offered those as well. So either a lot of big spenders have a lot of Sports Rolex or they flip them at 12 months. If they have to wait for the warranty cards of course, being such 'good customers'!Quote:

I meant 48 customers per year with a total past expenditure of 75k+. Then the next year another 48 will be allocated to another lot of big spenders.
So hypothetically, over 4 years there could be 192 customers who've spent 75k+, which we would guess won't be the case (unless possibly an AD in a wealthy city centre like London). So this limited number of big spenders will likely be receiving multiple hot pieces thus encouraging them to flip.
