Daytona in Belgium?
Hello there,
I posted in the past about wanting to get a PM (WG) Daytona from my local AD. Due to a couple of silly factors the deal didn't happen. I am on travel in London right now and will be heading over to Brussels soon... I am curious if any of you wonderful people can point me to some Rolex AD in Brussels. Naturally I tried to look for a PM Daytona in London nothing is available (not a surprise I supposed). Pretty sure Brussels will be the same situation but want to ask you wonderul folks anyways :) Thank you in advance for your help. |

There’s a boutique on the Waterloolaan. Very friendly people there.
Haven’t visited in a while, but pretty sure the situation is the same as everywhere else. I bought my explorer there in the beginning of the year, but that’s a bit easier than getting a Daytona |

Drive the small distance to germany (duesseldorf or cologne) and you will find your watch. About 10 AD in both cities and over 10 gray dealer in both cities.

I was just in Paris and even full PM Daytona’s are non-existent... Crazy times.

Daytona's are hard to get anywhere. But most likely they are held in the back. Ask and maybe they will bring one out.

My local AD has the full RG Daytona with black subdials if anyone is interested.

Sorry to tell you Belgium is picked apart from Paris and London. Residents of Belgium have to go to Paris Germany and London to try to get a Rolex. Funny but it isn't !

It’s a crying shame. Happy I got my explorer in February. I remember them saying: don’t feel pressured to buy now, we can source this very quickly whenever you need one. I can still believe that may be true, but I’m not sad I didn’t take them up on that ...

I was at the Rolex AD Stevenart in Waterloo (small city near to Brussels) last week. No sport models on display, just the usual DJ's, etc. I do not know what they have in stock in the back. You could give them a call. They generate less traffic then the ADs in Brussels and they are helpful.

So I went and saw the watch but they won’t sell it to me citing it’s reserved for someone else. Thank you for your help regardless.

I think that was a clear case of 10% extra paid cash

Thanks! I also discovered the Forum Acronyms and Vocabulary thread. Very helpful.

Curious if anyone knows about Yvan’s and can help me inquire about the watch. I am sure it’s on hold for someone else but maybe another ‘value’ customer can tip the scale?
