Incoming! Walk in OP purchase
So I’m strolling down Nathan Road in Hong Kong on my way to the cinema. Decide to pop into the Rolex store (the one owned by Zurich) to have a look. Start chatting to the staff and after maybe 10 mins… I assume when they can tell I’m a genuine collector and not a flipper, I’m offered the watch I want - 36” OP black.
Super nice staff and a really pleasant experience. Having a celebratory pint with my lovely new watch.

Congratulation on your new Rolex watch wear it in good health, like all ADs there main objective is to sell watches to anyone who enters their retail watch shop.

Congrats wear in good health. It helps that it's an unpopular model (rightly so).

Nice pleased for you
Makes me think why do I bother trying to build a relationship with an AD however. Think next time my jeweller offers me something decent if I buy a load of jewellery I'll do it. Then take the jewellery back and laugh at them. Imagine their faces. Think I'll have to check their returns policy online now ha |

Is it unpopular? In my experience OPs of any color aren’t easy to get. |

A walk in on an OP in HK is pretty crazy
