I think the idea is to highlight where any difficult to obtain watches may be available; there’s no point bumping this thread with watches that are freely available in every high street!
You may had well have a G-Shocks in the window thread too!
Could be 6 Months before this gets bumped again if you are waiting for a Sub, SD, GMT or Daytona in the window if we apply those strict rules.

I agree,
No point in hearing about EXP2, EXP1, Milgauss, YM, AK etc as they’re easy to get with minimal effort.
I recommend we highlight :
SubC
ND Sub
GMT black SS
BLNR
Deepsea Blue JC
Hulk etc.
I was in Goldsmiths in Oxford today and they had an Explorer 1 and both polar and black Explorer 2s... along with both black and blue Milgauss’ and his and hers Yachtmasters

Does it really hurt, I'm sure some people just like to moan and make up rules.
You’re right, none of the above, was told 3-4 year wait for a ND Sub, longer for LV and said the new Pepsi GMT was going to be rarer than Daytona and that the manager was strictly in charge of who went on the list for one!
I have been seriously considering making the change from 14060 to a 114060... but I’m now wondering if I’m worthy? I never thought it would be so hard to give many thousands of pounds away.

Why start deleting any watches from a list of “rarer” watches, if you don’t want or need a explorer 2 then move on and don’t comment, this is a Rolex in the window thread, post whatever is in the window, does it really matter.

Was there any need for you to repeat yourself?
We heard you the first time.
Personally, I like to read what is available.
Then just unsubscribe and take a look every now and again.
Which is what I shall do after pressing the submit button :-)

Goldsmiths Bullring is currently closed for refurbishment, they are also extending their Rolex & Cartier area, and notices tell customers to all go to Watches of Switzerland on New street.
If anyone fancies a trip to the west of Ireland, the local AD (Hartmanns) here in Galway has a stainless steel date Sub, one blue and one standard rose gold date subs in the window. No idea if they’re doing the warranty card nonsense.
Is that the one opposite Brown Thomas?

You joke, but I know of someone on an AD’s list for a white ExpII...
That’s shocking. I just sold mine a few months ago for £4,650 in great condition full set with a Rolex warranty and I think I got off lightly.
The only reason I would buy one from an AD is to help build credit for the next watch. A Home Counties AD told me they couldn’t give me discount on an Exp2 but could get me a daytona within a year or the next D-Blue he gets if I bought the Exp2. His AD will love him!
I guess the majority are not like us here and don’t know the full picture and if they are told there’s a wait they except it! Just like the poor soul who told me he purchased the limited edition green 116610LV as an investment and his AD didn’t know now many they would get, which has now been in production around 8 years now (I think)
My local GS had two people waiting on a TT Sub at full retail.
TT white dial Sky Dweller in the window of DMR Manchester at about 2pm this afternoon. Not sure how hard they are to find but they’re selling for a premium of 2k+ on WF and I’ve never seen one in the window before.
Apologies to the forum police if this model isn’t sought after enough to warrant a mention here.
Went through Heathrow T5 yesterday and the only sport model they had was the blue dialed Yachtmaster. Trying it on, I noticed two scratches on the bezel - really surprised and disappointed to see that, and has put me off the Yachtmaster if the expensive platinum bezel is such a scratch magnet that it gets damaged before leaving the store
No chance round here. I actually had one AD giggle before answering when I asked about Sub wait lists....
Picked up my 116610LV at full list yesterday. By the sounds of it another bad investment 😂 Good job it looks stunning in the sun🌞
