They are about, but mainly ear marked for known customers who have expressed previous interest, although someone posted there was one on display in Harrods!! Try all the boutiques, chains, Burlington Arcade and Bond Street

Try contacting Watches of Switzerland, Goldsmiths or Mappin and Webb, they will be able to source one for you

Was told by an AD in Boston that they expect it in by December so we are jealous.

Heathrow duty free might have them.. Worth a look anyway. I think they still have an AD there.

My understanding is that Heathrow and UK airports no longer carry steel sports models.

Ring Goldsmiths in Tunbridge Wells or Watches of Switzerland in Brighton before you come to the UK,
the will be able to get one in ,reserve at both to make sure,then if they both get one in just pick one and refuse the other.
Goldsmiths in Tunbridge Wells got me mine on launch day
Good luck

Unlikely in London, but they are around in the UK. I know a store in the midlands, but no discount on new sports models. It's definitely still there since I walk past everyday and work there

There was one in the Watch Gallery in Westfield Shepherds Bush last Thursday - dealer was trying to push it on me; I wanted a Hulk but he'd sold it the previous day (allocation of one per month). They also run the Rolex branded shop at One Hyde Park in Knightsbridge. Am a little surprised that it hadn't already been allocated to a favoured customer.

Some AD's dont really reserve watches - in Harrods for example they don't reserve and you cant pay a deposit over the phone and they wont accept payment over the phone. They just display them as they come in. I know other AD will reserve them but if they cant get in touch with you within 24hrs it'll be int he window

Ive seen it available at a few UK AD's . If you all goldmiths or WofS they may be able to pull one from one of their non london stores.

Got mine today m8, e mailed them other day to ask when they
would have one in stock, email back next day to say they had one, phoned them, asked if they could put it aside for me, no probs, went down today to pick it up,
and I got a good discount on rrp, dont pay over the odds for it m8.Try some Scottish AD's, and ask for a duscount. Have seen them on Ebay for £6800, that well over £1k more than I paid from an AD !!
HTH
