Good afternoon.

I’m flying out from T4 LHR tomorrow evening and wanted to know if anyone had any experience recently traveling through. What were stocks like on SS DateJust 41s? Much stock, variations? Or any direct contacts as I’ve been trying to call the numbers listed online and no response.

Many thanks in advance.

Hmmm... just called. Go through. Even DateJust models in SS seem to be totally sold out. Not surprised.

From my experience, I would easily say that Intl. Airports Rolex ADs / Boutiques, are the MOST hopeless places trying to find SS Sports models....

Just saying....

I pass through T4 every three months. The Rolex store inventory was very thin in June with at least one wall display case empty mid-day. I rarely see any tool watches (Subs, GMT, Explorer, etc.), and never see anything rare (Stainless Daytona, etc.). More watches than a small AD, but nothing terribly interesting to me.

Thanks. Two years ago they had tons when I was traveling early morning. It’s pretty sad in the UK at the moment.

I was there in July and as expected, didn't see any PM stocks.

There's another post earlier today about T2 where they had a few nice sport models, including a SS Yachtmaster..

I was in T3 a couple of weeks ago and they had quite a few datejusts but I was late for my flight so could not spend long. They did say to contact them ahead and they can courier a watch from any of the other terminals if you know exactly what you want.

I was in the T5 store on September 7th and 13th. While the cases were mostly full, no tool watches in sight....zero Milgauss, Daytona, GMT, Sub, Sea Dweller, Yacht Master, etc.

And apologies for my first post in this thread, I never pass through T4, always T5.

I'm in Terminal 3 on Tuesday, not in a position to buy but will have a good look. Not sure whether to take my Seamaster or Datejust with me.

Press event in Spain.

Answer was nothing of interest.

It was terrible the last time I was there!

T5 hasn't been much better. Have moved through twice in the last 4 months and on both occasions, the sales staff have laughed off a question for any SS sports models.

I think I have seen a YM2 and not much else.

Going through again this weekend so will let you know what I see...

It's the biggest airport in Europe with millions of people going through it every year.
How do you expect to find anything there?
You need to try a remote village shop.

You'll find nothing in the sports line at Heathrow, I've been told by the staff that their head office don't send the sports models to LHR they divert them to customers at their stores in the UK.

R!$ · 27 September 2018, 01:55 AM

Call in advance and they should have one ready for you
