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. |

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

I would think London is like the rest of the world.. empty cases unfortunately.

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.

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. |

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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?
