2017 you could walk into most ADs, not just Rolex Boutiques, and buy a GMT LN or a Sub LN at MSRP or in some cases, slightly under if you bought a couple pieces. Starting in early 2018, all of a sudden, the normal ADs I would go to, couldnt get either for even a display model.
In Australia and in Asia, you can never walk in and buy a GMT LN or Sub LN straight away (unless you are spending 250k+) for quite a long time...not just in the last 1-2 years.

I guess the demand outstrip supply issue is now so severe that your part of the world is also affected. People used to be able to buy steel Rolex diving watches in Dubai fairly easily as most locals prefer Gold. Now recently steel watches are also out of supply there.

Trusted source in one AD told me the amount of Rolex they are receiving are much less than before...
