Surprised Rolex's in Paris

[TexEd]

My wife and I travel the world frequently and out of curiosity I am always checking out the Rolex stores that I might happen upon. I have never found any Rolex watches available for sale until a couple of weeks ago while in Paris. The Rolex store at the Place Vendome offered me 1. Submariner yellow gold black bezel, oyster 2. Skydweller in white gold with black band, and 3. Skydweller in white gold Rolesor. I did not purchase either of them as they are not on my want list. I was, however, very surprised to find watches in a Rolex store that were available for immediate sale.

Was at the same Paris AD in Feb2024 and was able to buy a DateJust 41 Wimbledon as walk in...right time right place.

PM pieces are now showing up at ADs....saw several in the Toronto Yorkville area Bloor St. AD last month.

Was in Paris in March and was offered a Bluesy and James Cameron. Went with the James Cameron. With the exchange rate and VAT return, it was great.

Paris sounds like it’s the place to be

Royal de Versailles I presume. The market here in Canada is definitely getting easier.

You see it everywhere nowadays in Europe. Not the sought after SS models, like sub or gmt but everything else is possible.
