Bangkok?

Heading to BKK for a weekend in July.
How’s the AD game over there?
Would presume similar situation as HK/Singapore but just asking..
Oh yes, speaking of sport models obviously!

They have plenty of AD's but serious lack of sports models just like anywhere else. I wish I hadn't wasted my time checking each one when I visited in Feb.

Tudor was a different story, however. They had a BB58 on display.

Went watch shopping in Bangkok earlier this week. Bone dry, even worse than Singapore.

Dry as a desert, my friend.

Most of the ADs would ask you to bundle buy and come back in a few months.

Which model are you after?

Yeah I was just there last week as well......I hit most of the shops up and down Sukhumvit and all were dry. The one at Emporium at a YM2 and they acted like it was a national treasure. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT visit the trash shop in the BKK Airport. Absolutely nothing in and the staff is by far the worst I have ever encountered in any city.

I’m in Thailand on vacation right now. Hit 3 ADs in Bangkok earlier this week. TT Yacht Master and one SS Air-King was all I saw other than the usual DJ’s, etc.

Will check out AD in Chiang Mai later today.

Did see the bluesy and a black Deepsea a few weeks ago. Other than that, nothing worth mentioning.

That was at an AD in Central Rama 9

Icon5 DJ41 & No-Date Sub

I am looking for a Datejust 41 (fluted/Jubilee/Rhodium) and will that consider as a "bundle" to get a no-date Sub? Or do I have to go to the slowest selling model? Thank you for your time...

That's considered a hot piece and won't be considered as a bundle. You'll need to go PM or DJ 36,31,28 to get that SS.

Geeezee... never expected that a DateJust is a "hot piece"!
Okay then... I'll wait for my luck to play its part.

126334 and 126300 are considered hot nowadays. Especially the unobtainable blue piece. It never used to be like that. Rolex just loves to play with the supply.

I disagree about it being so hot in the US. Talk to your AD and tell them you want those two watches and to call you when they get them in.

Thank you. I will certainly do pay them a visit in person to ask... I have heard that US receives the highest number of watches followed by Hong Kong...

From the “incoming” posts lately on members getting hot models in the US, it looks definitely true!
Asia is just dry and the few are going directly to greys.
