One note on exclusivity:
Rolex is cutting off dealers at an alarming rate.
Also limiting shipments to dealers. I have visited three different dealers recently and all agree.
You can get a discount on some of the “non-sporting” models, but the amount they are willing to “give” is pretty low.
You will not find a discount on a sub, explorer, milgauss, or Daytona. You’ll be lucky if you can find one of those models at all - and dealers I spoke with are putting customers on a call list.

Appears that Rolex has recognized a decline in cache of the brand - and limiting supply is a good way to do so.

My theory is that China is absorbing a large portion of their production - so the US market is seeing reduced supply.

YMMV. My observations only.
