The Rolex You Want May Be in Stock — But Not for Long — Andrea Felsted

If you are very lucky, you might now be able to walk into a store and walk out with a Rolex. It may not be the model or style that you hoped for, but the simple fact that some of the brand's watches are relatively available marks a stark turnaround from five years ago, when most required joining a lengthy wait list.

That you can splash your bonus in a boutique is evidence of the slump in the market for new timepieces, a state of affairs that has seen Swiss watch exports contract for the past two years.

That may be changing. Over recent weeks, there have been some indications we are past the nadir. But any recovery is slowly winding up rather than springing forward. And even if the market strengthens, the spoils won't be evenly spread.

Read the whole thing.
