Icon5 Rolex AD in Milan IT

Hi there.
I'm going to be in Milan (IT) in the beginning of September. Hunting for a SSDaytona - 116500LN blk. I know chances are slim to nothing but if anyone can recommend an AD in the area who might have it, I would really appreciate it! :

Been there done that, bought the t-shirt but not the watch....
Very very slim chance. Dit buy a 16710 in perfect condition at a very small old shop though! Great watch and great experience.

You will see loads of 5 digit subs in the wild!

Sorry, but that will be a difficult task. A friend just returned from Milan and wasn't ablest find one. But you never know. You might get lucky.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I know there is no chance of finding a Daytona C but how about a SubC or Hulk?

You won't get a hulk, sub c should be possible. I was there 4 months ago and saw GMT LN and sub c no date in the window of rolex boutique. The sub c was only one without a price though not sure what that means.
