Icon3 Any chance to get new ss models from London?

Guys, I planned to go to London on next Tuesday. I understands that it very hard to get the new watch from ad now. Just, curious what any updated information in London guys.
Thanks, for your information.

You might have a chance at Pragnell’s Mayfair if you buy some of their jewellery.

I messaged a SA earlier and was sent a video of their current jewellery offer.

Good luck.

The chances of walking into a London AD and being offered a SS Rolex are less than the square root of minus nowhere

London and BKK both near impossible without a connection or $50k in other spending. Good luck though

London probably the worst place in the UK to get a walk-in-walk-out piece, let alone SS. Higher concentration of higher net-worth individuals and big spenders. Dreaming I'm afraid.

I hear it about a 0.1%

So there's still a possibility

Depends how fat your wallet is and how much other stuff you plan on buying.

I don't see why chances would be any better in London, compared to anywhere else in the world? Probably even a less of a chance in a big city like that?

However difficult it is to get one in Thailand, its probably worse for a local to get one in London.

London is still there. The ADs are still there. The watches are still not there.

A friend of mine walked in Harrods in the last 12 months and walked out with a 36mm date just. No purchase history. Just look of the draw!

Super easy, just walk in and ask for a Daytona. They will grab one right out of the safe for you.

Good luck.

They do like their bundle deals there…..drop £25k on some Uber margin jewels you don’t want and see what they offer.

Or just walk away at that practice/game.

Walk into any AD and say you’re on the Forum, wink, ask how the Queen is, handshake 3 times and say OOGAOOGAOOGA and they’ll walk you into the vault to pick what you want. Few understand this.

You miss 100% of the pitches you don't swing at.

It's always worth a try.

Thanks, for your information.

They're flush with watches and are waiting to tell them by the boatload. Oh sorry... That's the greys.

For an AD you may get a free coffee and a pitiful smirk... Your choice

I can’t imagine most people walking out with anything but a DJ unless you have history or a friend. If you want a 36 DJ, it could be possible. If you want a sub or BLNR/BLRO, no reason to sell it to you. Especially if you don’t live there.

Are you willing to buy other stuff in addition to the watch?

Forget that idea, it won’t happen.

Go and enjoy all London has to offer, and forget watches
