[UK] Easy to get models?

[Probert]

Hello everyone,

If I was to make an approach to my local AD - whom I do not have a current relationship with - what would I likely be able to get my hands on in the next 6-12 months, would you say?

Thanks!

Seconded.
Oyster Perpetual and Explorer are attainable, and possibly DateJust.
Precious Metals also, although you'll be spending a lot of cash.

Sports / Professional Models much harder to get atm.

Lady DJ should be no problem.

[nighthawk77]

Air King
Explorer
OP & DJs - in lesser popular dial variants i.e. black, silver, white
TT models, save for Daytonas and maybe Rootbeer
Some PMs

Why not ask your AD?

As above, OP 36 or 41 in black or silver (although at price point they are tricky to get)
DJ 36 or 41 in two tone, or steel with smooth and oyster bracelet. Think low demand colours like white, black, silver.
Explorer 1 36mm two tone, or steel 36mm (40 at a push)
Air-King

These will all need a bit of a wait (apart from two tone explorer) but should be realistic

Spend a $100k on “stuff” and you might get a Daytona or Pepsi in a year if that’s what you want

If money is no object just go grey

[londondude]

From experience I'd say OP 31mm, Lady DJ, TT Explorer 36mm and maybe the Air King

I got my root beer within a week of placing the order. No prior relationship. The market has changed massively

[Hulkhunter]

What’s your budget?

Oysterflex Skydwellers are always in the cases these days. Two tone Sea Dweller, Yachtmaster White Gold, white gold sub are all usually in the case.

Certain datejust models, explorers yachtmasters and sea dweller/deepsea shouldn’t be tough.

Yeah, minimal (if any) margin for flippers on this and watches like the SD43. A different world now.

Was in U.K. AD today and they said requests are down 40/50%.
Had multiple watches for sale, DJ 36 Black Dial Jubilee Smooth, YachMaster 2 Steel Gold, many PM models and Ladies pieces.
Slowly changing and in 6 months I think we will start to see more and more available.

[MrMikee]

Many PM pieces, ladies DJ, Yacht Masters, air king, black dial explorer seem to be ‘easy’ to get.

[mawatchlover]

a lady DJ.
