Once something is sold out they don't get restocked. The only options are to buy from the AD's when they receive small allotments, private seller market or wait until the next new variation of a particular line is released.These look FANTASTIC, but all OOS now. Do they come back in stock?
Some will say why not make more, but this formula is working for Zelos. What seems to happen is it creates strong anticipation of the next wave of releases. That in turn seems to be a formula for repeated sellouts in record time.
They keep increasing the production number of new batches, but not by thousands, but rather hundreds. The next ones offered will be the Hammerhead 300m (44mm dial/48mm L2L/13mm thickness/22mm lugs). Some colors will be offered in quantities of 1000 and other ones in 500.
This is a larger number compared to past offerings beside the SF40s. It seems to be a constant tweaking effort trying to find a sweet spot. Satisfying disappointed potential buyers who miss a model and having too much inventory left over.
IMO I would rather have continued sell-outs rather than over production like I see so many other brands do. The business model of Zelos is not to run sales for left over inventory. They offer batches with competitive pricing in limited quantities for a pre-order pricing tier and bump up pricing for whatever quantities are left. There is no price gouging and inflated price structures creating false up and down claims of savings, only stable pricing.
