Beautiful building and photo

It begs the question, what watch are you wearing?

I was offered a SD43 in 2017 and a TT blue Sub41 in 2020 with no purchase history, I had called to express interest and was called back within a month. I'm local though. I didn't buy because I was offered the pieces a few days earlier from other local ADs. I haven't asked anything else since, so not sure how bad it got with this particular AD. Noemi was very friendly and helpful.

Apple Watch for me! Traveling solo this time, felt safer to leave the watches at home.

I can imagine it’s very hard to acquire a piece here considering how busy of a tourist area it is. I’m sure locals get better treatment. Jealous that you live local, love this city!

Buoyant place indeed my friend, enjoy your stay. VIP tourists get preference over regular non-VIP locals. I was told once by another local AD close by that they were missing the flock of wealthy (read millionaire) Chinese and South American tourists during the pandemic lockdowns.

Am traveling on December and doing a stop at Madrid. Is there any particular Rolex AD that is worth visiting other than Grassy ? Think there are a couple but not sure if worth to
visit any other location (prob grabbing a Taxi)

Madrid is either too cold or too hot

You can try Perodri and Rabat, they're 5 minutes away from Grassy if you take a taxi. Wempe is between those two but they no longer carry Rolex in Spain. There's also the Rolex boutique close by, might as well give it a shot.
