Walked in to a goldsmiths uk left with a DJ.

Being lurking here for a while.

Got two goldsmiths in my city. Had name down for a datejust at one of them for a while.

Walked in last week to the other store to try and put my name down with them. The ad said it’s your lucky day and pulled out a datejust 36 Wimbledon 126324.

So finally joined the rolex club without paying grey market prices.

Great experience and total surprise.
