Never been there myself. I've visited Slaets in Antwerp a few times. I was very impressed by the salesperson his knowledge about rolex.

I hope you enjoyed your first AD experience!

There are always a lot of watches inside and at te window, but almost no black SubC.
Congratulations! Very nice find.

I saw a black sub at an AD here last week...it lasted about 36 hrs before it was out the door

No, I just walked into the AD and asked because there was no sub in display.
After a short conversation with the salesperson, he said there was one more in the vault for a customer who did not pick it up. I do not know if it was a sales pitch or not. They said they only got one each month.
