And of course, the main reason why this can happen is people will still buy these watches at their retail prices, even some models, at premium (from non-ADs).

Rolex manufactures a fixed amount of their models every year. Say hypothetically, they allocate their production of Batman to 15,000 pieces per year and SS datejust 41 black to 30,000 pieces per year, once they hit 15,000 for the Batman in a year, they will just stop. They will not decrease production of DJ41 to make up for the popularity of Batman to produce more Batman.
The demand for the sports models for year 2017 has been very good, resulting in early sold-out of said models. Hence, the ADs around the world have not been receiving a lot of these sports models towards the end of 2017.
Obviously the production and shipment for these sports models will continue in 2018 again. However, Rolex has always been secretive about their production per model and allocation, so it's anyone's guess whether we will see the same dearth situation of these sport models in the late part of 2018.
Back to your earlier question, Rolex has the right to rescind the authorised dealership of any AD if they are continually found not acting on Rolex's advice. This is the one thing that all the ADs fear given the lucrative Rolex relationship. The power is with Rolex here...

Sometime AD will sell their vip at retail price which is seldom. As for selling walk in Customer is totally waste of time because lower profit margin/if selling @ premium price they worry getting of complain, so they will choose gray market which whole sales to HK or other countriesOriginally posted by Timetraveler View PostRolex usually supply 1-4 popular model to which outlet of AD. I believe this flipers won’t stop because rolex is controlling the stock Demand/supply. Right now all sport model is holding back because upcoming Rolex going increase their price 3-5% across all model on 2018 and I believe all AD already have the information ðŸ˜Originally posted by Timetraveler View PostI don’t think rolex can do anything because gray market for Rolex too huge & without gray market Rolex don’t hold value anymore 😂😂

I have written to Rolex Singapore on this "flipping" situation, and they informed me that they are aware of it, and are currently working closely with the AD to address it. They also encouraged me to liaise with my AD on these popular Rolex models, instead of the flippers.
Fingers crossed!
