Hi all! I'll be flying to Paris this weekend and I'm in deep search for a no date Sub. I've been in touch with a few ADs here in New York and they said they'll get back to me once they have the piece. According to them it's not as difficult to find compared to the Sub date and it might take a few months, so I'm staying positive on my search.

I intend to visit every store in Paris in the hope I'll be able to acquire one. The VAT refund will be ideal if I purchase it in Europe. I know I could find the watch here at TRF from trusted sellers, but I just prefer the AD experience and having my name on the card. I've also read from previous threads that the Vendome location has some nice locations. If any of you have anything to share about your recent experience while searching in Paris, I'd love to hear about it! Thoughts and advice are welcome. Cheers!

Also, if anyone has seen one in the tri-state area in New York I'm all ears. Thanks again!

I saw one at my local AD (Philly)

Hope you are successful. It will probably be a tremendous savings and at you simultaneously get to enjoy Paris. You have planned well. Bonne Chance

You'll have to wrestle me for one! I'm flying in this weekend, as well. If we can find some Subs, we'd be very lucky, indeed! We should exchange WhatsApp info in case one of us comes across an item that might be of interest. Presented with the opportunity to buy either a SubC or a polar Exp II, I don't know which I'd take...

So far, no luck for me. Contacted a few stores in Paris and none of them have any sports models available. :( I also don't remember seeing any Explorer II in NYC. I've seen several Daytonas in Midtown Manhattan over the weekend though.

There might be an upgrade to the Sub line and it may be tough to get one until the new models start delivering.

Fabrice M · 19 March 2019, 06:38 AM

Check also at the Airport, once in a while you get lucky and it’s duty free.

Townsend · 19 March 2019, 01:12 PM

I was planning on purchasing my 114060 when in Paris and Italy in May, but from what I've read it's as hard or harder to find them over there.

Ended up jumping on a wait list here in Tampa, FL "just in case." Was told 6 months for the ND Sub, but got a call a week later and it's on my wrist now. You never know...

Wish I could have had the unique experience of buying in Paris or Italy, plus the financial savings, but glass half full I now won't piss my wife off by spending our vacation jumping from AD to AD

Good for you!

It looks like you'll get it when you least expect it. :)

Had the opportunity to purchase a Rolex about two weeks ago in Paris. I didn’t come across the 114060, but they did have a few yachtmasters, DJ II, two tone sky dwellers, Milgaus and Air Kings. They had a Polar Explorer II but it was reserved for a client. The advantage you’ll have is that they have several ADs out there that you could try and see what they have in stock. I think you might be able to find what you’re looking for. My recommendation is try Anshindo and Arije.... the latter will provide a 16% VAT refund as opposed to the standard 12%best of luck and let us know what you find!

Did you find a GMT by any chance? I have a family member going to Paris for a weekend this Firday and asked him to walk into AD´s and look for me.

Can you please tell me which AD this was exactly? Or maybe PM me this?

Thanks for the recommendation! I reached out to Anshido and Arije and unfortunately they didn't have any sports models in stock. :(
